PCOM Perspectives: Introducing Dr. Andrea Mann

This episode features a discussion with Andrea Mann, DO, FAAP, PCOM Georgia’s new dean and chief academic officer of the osteopathic medicine program. We discussed Dr. Mann’s plans for success in her role, her leadership philology, as well as some of the challenges she will face as we transition back to campus following an unprecedented year. We also talked about priorities for both the College and PCOM Georgia during the next five years and the task of creating a clinical footprint in Georgia, which would greatly enhance interprofessional education for all programs. As part of our discussion, I shared my opinion on the greatest challenges facing medical education as the healthcare industry consolidates and treatment moves toward an outpatient model.
