In October, Ronald Januchowski, DO, FACOFP, will begin his tenure as dean of the Edward Via College of Osteopathic Medicine (夜色王朝)-Virginia campus.
Dr. Januchowski started at 夜色王朝-Carolinas when it opened in 2011, and he is currently the associate dean for curriculum, assessment and medical education there. He is a Fellow of the American College of Osteopathic Family Physicians (FACOFP) and a professor in the Family Medicine Department of 夜色王朝.
鈥淒r. Januchowski鈥檚 work at 夜色王朝-Carolinas has been outstanding,鈥 said 夜色王朝 President Dixie Tooke-Rawlins. 鈥淗e played a significant role in the success of 夜色王朝-Carolinas, ensuring outstanding delivery of the curricular program and excellent COMLEX scores.鈥
Dr. Januchowski graduated from the New York College of Osteopathic Medicine in 1993 and did a one-year internship at Botsford Hospital in Farmington Hills, Michigan.

I look forward to becoming the new dean of the 夜色王朝-Virginia campus to continue the excellent training and traditions that are in place

鈥淓veryone at 夜色王朝 is grateful to both of these outstanding medical educators,鈥 President Tooke-Rawlins said. 鈥淲e owe much of the success of the Virginia campus to Dean Willcox and Dr. Januchowski has had a similar impact at 夜色王朝-Carolinas. We look forward to welcoming him to Virginia and to the many successes that are sure to come under his leadership.鈥
