Yesterday, MCW held an Installation Ceremony welcoming our new Dean of the School of Graduate Studies Dr. Daisy Sahoo! Dr. Sahoo joined the MCW faculty in 2007 as an Assistant Professor of Medicine and has since held several leadership positions at MCW, including serving as the President of the Faculty Council from 2020-2021 and has been significantly involved in graduate and medical education. Dr. Sahoo has also been nationally recognized for her work studying how the circulation of cholesterol in the body affects cardiovascular disease. We look forward to your continued leadership and contributions to the MCW Graduate School! #MedEd #GraduateSchool #MCWKnowledge
