PrintCOLUMBIA — After 15 years as the associate dean for curriculum for the MU School of Medicine, Michael Hosokawa has decided to step down from his position, a news release from the School of Medicine said.
He will continue his duties as a full-time professor of family and community medicine. Linda Headrick, the senior associate dean for education and faculty development, will chair the search committee, according to the release.
Hosokawa announced his decision in a note to the dean's office staff, saying: "It feels like a good time to look for some new turns in the road and set some new goals," according to the release.
While he was associate dean, Hosokawa made many contributions and innovations to the School of Medicine that benefited both the school and its students, the release said. Some of the innovations include the Mini-Medical School where high school students have the opportunity to see what medical school is like; Jumpstart, a week of preparation for students who are about to begin their first year of medical school; and, most recently, the creation of electronically asssisted, problem-based learning.
Hosokawa will continue as the associate dean until a new one is appointed.
