Dean of Medicine Resigns - Dr. Valerie M. Parisi to Remain a University Advisor
I am writing today to inform you that Dr. Valerie M. Parisi, dean of the School of Medicine and UTMB’s chief academic officer, has chosen to resign her administrative positions for personal reasons, effective immediately. I have asked Dr. Parisi to remain as an advisor to the university reporting directly to me, to ensure a smooth transition.
Although we are disappointed to lose a dean of Dr. Parisi’s stature, this is Dr. Parisi’s decision and I fully support it. I would like to personally acknowledge her service, and the contributions she has made to the university during the last two years. She is a talented and dedicated physician and we certainly wish her well.
Dr. Garland D. Anderson, longtime chair of obstetrics and gynecology, will continue to serve as interim dean of medicine, and Dr. Pamela G. Watson, dean of nursing, as interim chief academic officer.
These are challenging times for every health institution and our first responsibility is to ensure UTMB’s continued ability to serve the people of Texas and beyond. I have the utmost confidence in UTMB’s future and am personally committed to working closely with faculty, staff and students to move this great institution forward.
John D. Stobo, M.D.
UTMB President
