Rotations

After a bit of a hiatus we restart our normally pre-recorded line up with Rotations Co-Founder and 3rd Year Osteopathic Medical Student, Nisarg Bakshi. In the first episode we catch up with Nisarg, make fun of Ohio University’s long term rival, Miami University (which is a fine school), and in general engage in the banter that got Rotations started.

This episode is focused toward the premedical student and those medical students in their 1st and 2nd years of medical school. There is light at the end of the tunnel and Nisarg reminds us of that as we also catch up on the Indian Cuisine scene in Cincinnati.

We hope you enjoy the episode and please pass along any good comments you might have for us. If you have bad comments, re-read them, remember we have sensitive feelings and then send them.

Executive Dean Ken Johnson (Twitter: @DrKenDO) of The Ohio University Heritage College of Osteopathic Medicine did not come to the role of Executive Dean without spending a lengthy period of time in the practice of medicine. He is widely well-regarded for his expertise in the clinical application of Osteopathic Manual Medicine with a special emphasis in its role during pregnancy. Now he oversees the operations of the largest medical school in the State of Ohio.

In this episode of Rotations Ryan Schropp gets Dean Johnson to go into the massive job of running a large medical school which is now geographically distributed on three different campuses. In this interview we learn about decision making and leadership in managing staff and faculty talent, addressing medical student needs, developing relevant curriculum and soon overseeing the groundbreaking of what will be the most modern medical school campus in the United States of America.

We all had a great time with the Dean and we are grateful that in spite of pressing scheduling challenges and his non-stop travel and meeting calendar he took time to describe a pathway for future medical leaders.
