The official Facebook account of the Wisconsin Medical Alumni Association (WMAA) – a positive community for MD alumni and MD students, building a strong future for the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health

The WMAA social media pages (Facebook and Instagram) are produced and maintained by the WMAA, an office dedicated to keeping medical alumni and medical students c

onnected to the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health (UWSMPH) and each other. The purpose of these pages is to facilitate a positive community for MD alumni and MD students with topics relevant to the UWSMPH. While we welcome and encourage postings, the WMAA reserves the right to remove comments, links, photos or other content that it deems off-topic, obscene, a violation of intellectual property rights or privacy laws, commercial, or otherwise illegal or not germane to the purpose of these pages. Our status as a public institution also means that the university has to comply with certain legal requirements when responding to complaints about a post or requests for posts or comments to be removed. With limitations on what the university can remove, we focus on responding with additional information and resources for members to consider in the alternative. WMAA’s social media sites are not commercial space and do not allow for business promotion, unless authorized by UW-Madison: https://universityrelations.wisc.edu/policies-and-guidelines/advertising-policies/.

We are proud of our school in providing thorough training on the critically important social determinants of health as part of our curriculum - and proud of MSTP student Naa Asheley Ash*tey for so eloquently - and personally - writing about its consequence. Thank you for your advocacy, Naa (full OpEd in link below).

Cheers to Greta Kuphal, MD ‘06 and director of the Osher Center for Integrative Health within the UW Department of Family Medicine and Community Health. As the Osher Center nears its fifth anniversary, a new $2 million grant from the Osher Foundation is advancing the center’s long-term stability.

“My hope is that we continue to be a strong, coordinated center that supports whole health within the health system and the community. If we can be a nucleus for collaboration around promoting whole person health — not just finding and treating disease — that would be a meaningful measure of success.”

Happy 50th, MD Class of 1976!!🦡
