Dean charges search committee

The Department of Orthopedic Surgery has made significant progress under the wise and sustained leadership of Dr. John Johnson. It has generally not been customary for the University of Louisville medical school dean to supply a written charge to search committees. In my opinion, this is a custom which ought not to be continued. Clearly provided instructions to the search committee are likely to facilitate your work and achieve a work product, for me, which will match my expectations. To this end, I provide the following charge to the search committee for the Chair of the Department of Orthopedic Surgery of the University of Louisville School of Medicine.
