DEAN’S MESSAGE: A TRANSITION AND SOME GRATIFYING NEWS

 * Written by Bradley Britigan, MD, dean of the UNMC College of Medicine
 * Published Nov 6, 2023

Bradley Britigan, MD, dean of the UNMC College of Medicine

After 12 years in the role, on Nov. 1, Dr. Steve Lisco stepped down as chair of
the department of anesthesiology. He did so, at the request of Dr. Jim Linder,
CEO of Nebraska Medicine, and myself, to be able to devote more time to the
growing responsibilities of his other major leadership roles – chief academic
officer of Nebraska Medicine and senior associate dean for clinical affairs in
the UNMC College of Medicine, positions he has held since June 2022.

During Dr. Lisco’s time as chair, the department of anesthesiology has
transitioned from a struggling unit to become nationally recognized for its
educational, research and clinical prowess and success. Accordingly, the size
and scale of the department has grown enormously, with now over 100 talented
faculty and expanded numbers of trainees in residency and fellowship programs.

I want to thank Dr. Lisco, in particular, but also the faculty/staff and
trainees, for all the work that has been done in building the department of
anesthesiology over the past 12 years. The bar was set very high, and it has
been cleared. I look forward to continuing to work with Dr. Lisco in his college
and Nebraska  Medicine leadership roles.

I also would like to thank Dr. Mo Shukry for his willingness to serve as interim
chair of the department. I have the greatest confidence that he will continue to
work with the members of the department to keep it moving forward while we
undertake the process of a national search for Dr. Lisco’s successor.

On a separate note, we recently received feedback from the LCME after they
reviewed a required status report from us in which we updated them on the
progress that we had made in addressing areas for improvement that were
identified during our full survey visit in the fall of 2021.

I am pleased to report that we were now found to be in compliance with all 12
standards, and compliance with all 93 elements within those standards was
satisfactory. Only three require ongoing monitoring and follow up with the LCME.
This is wonderful news.

My congratulations and thanks to the team responsible, led by Dr. Geoff Talmon,
associate dean for curriculum, along with Renee Alley and Lindsey Holmes. Drs.
Kelly Caverzagie, Wendy Grant and Shirley Delair also were essential in
addressing specific aspects of the improvement plan and report. They each put in
much effort to accomplish this outcome.

As this newsletter goes out, we will have just fallen back to standard time. I
hope your internal clock resets quickly. Thanksgiving is soon upon us. I hope
you each have some well-deserved time with family and friends over the upcoming
holiday.
