Lee Buenconsejo-Lum<\/strong> has been named acting dean of the University of Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span> at M\u0101noa John A. Burns School of Medicine<\/a> (JABSOM<\/abbr>), effective January 1 to February 28, 2023, and as interim dean effective March 1 to December 31, 2023. JABSOM<\/abbr> Dean Jerris Hedge<\/strong>s will retire in March 2023 after serving for 15 years.<\/p>\n

“Dr. Buenconsejo-Lum is well versed with JABSOM<\/abbr>\u2019s operations, and I am confident that she will successfully guide JABSOM<\/abbr> during this period of transition until a permanent dean can be hired,” said UH<\/abbr> M\u0101noa Provost Michael Bruno<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Buenconsejo-Lum is JABSOM<\/abbr>\u2019s associate dean for academic affairs, designated institutional official and graduate medical education director.<\/p>\n

Since joining the UH<\/abbr> medical school as clinical teaching assistant in the Department of Family Medicine and Community Health in 1994, Buenconsejo-Lum has been a teacher, leader, care provider and researcher who played an integral role in the medical school\u2019s ascension in the U.S.<\/abbr> News and World Report<\/em> rankings.<\/p>\n

For the last six years, Buenconsejo-Lum has been a member of the dean\u2019s executive management team and is involved in all major strategic initiatives, with budget and policy issues, not only within the medical school and UH<\/abbr> M\u0101noa, but also in partnership with the state\u2019s health systems, and Veterans Affairs and Department of Defense partners.<\/p>\n
