Board of Directors

The Wisconsin Medical Alumni Association (WMAA) Board of Directors is an engaged group of medical alumni committed to supporting medical students through mentoring, scholarships and other opportunities. Our philanthropic initiatives include the Stethoscope Fund, which covers the cost of incoming MD students’ first stethoscope, and the WMAA Fund, which is considered the lifeblood of WMAA. Our goal is to create an exceptional environment for students and help build a strong sense of community among alumni through reunions and funding for Quarterly magazine.
