Question ID: 300429
I would like to assemble a list of 10 or more former or retired
medical school Dean's of Admissions.  I am working on project related
to medical education and need the input of individuals who have served
as the Dean of Admissions for a US medical school , but are not
currently doing so.   I need their names, the institutions they ran,
and some form of current contact information.
I tip very well for great results.

Hi jmhines,

I have been working on your question but need to clarify something.  

Are you interested in *any* former Deans of Admissions for Medical
Schools; meaning can former Assistant Deans of Admissions be included
in the list?

Regards,
rainbow~

Hi jmhines,

Firstly, I would like to apologize for the delay in answering your question. 
When I first began this research, I located the first 3 former Deans
of Admissions quite easily. Then I started seeing all these Assistant
and Associate Deans and thought I could easily give you 10. However,
your clarification, which I appreciated very much, narrowed things
down quite a bit.
After an exhaustive search, sifting through numerous web pages, I was
able to locate the following 12 former Deans of Admissions for US
medical schools:



1. David Trabilsy - Johns Hopkins School of Medicine

?David Trabilsy, former dean of Admissions of the Johns Hopkins School
of Medicine and recently appointed director of the newly established
