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 connected 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/. For more information, please see UW-Madison’s Social Media Statement: http://www.wisc.edu/social-media-statement/

Mother Nature participated beautifully for Military, Allies, and Veterans (MAV) in Medicine's first annual nine-hole scramble, one of our school's newer RSOs!

"It was such a great morning connecting with new and old friends. We can’t wait to grow the community among alumni, physicians, and current students near and far!!

Big congrats to Aaron Struck, MD '09, who was named the inaugural endowed chair for epilepsy at WashU medicine in St. Louis! He joined WashU as associate professor of neurology and head of the adult epilepsy section, and also received tenure in the department of Neurology at WashU.

Dr. Struck's work focuses on surgical treatment of idiopathic generalized epilepsy, EEG, neuroimaging, molecular imaging, and data science. He previously served at UW as assistant professor of neurology, as well as medical director and section head of epilepsy and neurophysiology.

We will miss you both, Aaron Struck, MD '09 and Soma Struck, MD '08!

Why Wisconsin?

“The best thing about my Wisconsin medical education was that the whole state was our campus, leading to an amazing diversity of clinical experience.”

Julia Kyle, MD ’95 runs Confluence Healthcare, a solo med/peds practice in Eau Claire, one of the Wisconsin communities where she trained as a medical student. She’s pictured here competing in last year’s Birkebeiner in Hayward, another Wisconsin community where she completed a clinical rotation. And she loves seeing old friends at her WMAA class reunions!

At UW SMPH, the whole state is our classroom... and our incredible playground, too.

Never a dull moment for our TRIUMPH students!

The Leadership Course with M4s has been everywhere...Wellness hike along Lake Michigan at Seven Bridges Park; visit to a City Hall Committee meeting to learn about local government and public health; visit to the Hunger Task Force with Dr. Reno Wright as part of their TRIUMPH Leadership Course, then joined M3s at Neighborhood House of Milwaukee (shout out to Michelle Lin and Seamus McWilliams for organizing!).
Students learned more about the organization and snapped this great photo with Executive Director Jon Janowski on their roller-skating rink.

Here's to school pride, whether anticipating a Badger win, or continuing to celebrate it. Although our medical students arrived from all over the country with a rainbow of colors, we know they'll all depart with some Cardinal Red!

WMAA - via the WMA Fund - is proud to invest in student organizations and the many ways they support our students, fostering career exploration, service, leadership and a strong sense of community.

Recently, the PM&R Interest Group offered a subspecialty panel featuring three physiatrists who've taken very different paths in the field, from pain medicine to peds to administration - including our own Steve Wiesner, MD '85 and Melissa Villegas, MD '13.

Viva career exploration!
