Retirement of Vicki Tegethoff, MHA RN
 |
|
It is with mixed feelings that we announce the retirement of Vicki Tegethoff, MHA RN, effective April 7, 2020. Vicki joined the Office of Continuing Medical Education in 1998, after working for a number of years as a BJH nurse in Otolaryngology. She has served as Director of CME for the last 16 years, where she played a key role in the growth and success of our program, including our achievement of Joint Accreditation for interprofessional continuing education status in 2017. Her dedication to WUSM, wealth of knowledge, and experience will be greatly missed. We wish you the best in your new endeavors! |
