The Stephen P. Bogdewic Lectureship in Medical Leadership was established to honor the contributions of Stephen P. Bogdewic, PhD, who retired in 2019 after 30 years with Indiana University School of Medicine. The annual Bogdewic lecture aims to bring outstanding leaders to IU School of Medicine to share their insights, building on Bogdewic’s “legacy of leadership development by promoting and cultivating a leadership mindset.”

This year IU School of Medicine welcomes David J. Skorton, MD, is president and CEO of the AAMC (Association of American Medical Colleges), a not-for-profit association that represents medical schools, teaching hospitals and health systems, and academic societies.
