2 Midwestern University President’s Report
Fr o m t h e P r e s i d e n t
Dear Alumni, Donors and Friends of Midwestern University,
This annual President’s Report highlights the important and generous contributions that we received from thoughtful donors, like you, over the past year.
Each of you have made a significant impact in supporting our educational mission, and it is because of your thoughtful gifts that we can continue providing
scholarships to deserving students, enhance our research initiatives, and meet the health-care needs of the communities we serve.
The past year was filled with noteworthy milestones and events. Our President’s Report provides an overview of the wonderful academic, research and
service activities that took place throughout 2018 at Midwestern University on both campuses, including the Commencement ceremonies last May to
celebrate more than 1,500 new healthcare professionals. Among those honored was the first graduating class from the College of Veterinary Medicine, the
first and only Arizona college to currently offer an accredited four-year Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (D.V.M.) degree.
One of the more difficult challenges last year was the loss of our Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer, Dr. Arthur Dobbelaere, who was
an important and beloved member of our University family since 1995. His legacy is truly immeasurable, and he will always be missed by so many. Although
you may not have known him personally, I assure you that Dr. Dobbelaere had a quiet but significant role in the University’s on-going operations and
planning. Beyond his numerous professional contributions, what Dr. Dobbelaere will most be remembered for how proud he was of Midwestern University,
its faculty, staff, students, alumni, and supporters. We extend our special thanks to all of you who made donations to the Arthur G. Dobbelaere, Ph.D.,
Student Scholarship Fund established in his honor. This special scholarship fund truly honors his legacy.
Midwestern University remains dedicated to its mission of academic excellence. We carefully monitor our successes through rigorous internal and external
measures, to ensure that we are meeting all of our academic objectives. We have several indicators to measure our success, such as pass rates on licensing
board exams, students’ admission into quality residency programs, and successful job placement. Another one of our important measures of achievement is
meeting and exceeding all accreditation board standards. Last year, we were busy preparing program self-studies and annual reports, hosting many accrediting
agencies’ site teams, and eagerly awaiting the final, and ultimately very successful, results. I am extremely proud of the commitment of our entire faculty
and staff as the accreditation site visitors found all of our policies, procedures and works to be in full compliance with all accreditation standards.
Once again, this year Midwestern University will graduate wonderful students who are looking forward to start their careers as caring and compassionate
health care providers. Many of those students have directly benefited from your kindness and generosity. Your endowments, pledges, gifts in kind, planned
gifts, mentorships and overall support of our mission have produced another very successful group of healthcare professionals who will make us all proud.
With sincere thanks,
Kathleen H. Goeppinger, Ph.D.
President and Chief Executive Officer, Midwestern University

Dr. David and Mrs. Brenda
Kuo Scholarship
The Dr. David and Mrs. Brenda Kuo Scholarship was established in 2008 to benefit
students in their second, third, or fourth year at Chicago College of Osteopathic
Medicine (CCOM). Dr. Kuo graduated from CCOM in 1980 and created the
scholarship to express his appreciation for his time and experience at CCOM.
The scholarship is presented to exceptional students to help defray the cost of their
education. This year, the Dr. David and Mrs. Brenda Kuo Scholarship was awarded to
Kassidy Rinehart (Chicago College of Osteopathic
Medicine 2021).
What made you want to be an osteopathic physician?
I have always wanted to go into the medical field. My mother is a nurse and always
brought home stories about how she made her patients’ lives better. I specifically
decided to pursue osteopathic medicine when I became a patient myself following a
knee injury. One of my doctors, who was an osteopathic physician, went above and
beyond to take care of my wellbeing as a person in addition to caring for my injury. I
could not imagine a better way to spend your life than serving others in this capacity.
What’s the most important thing you’ve learned at Midwestern
University?
The most important thing I’ve learned at Midwestern is that I always have more
to learn.
What does the support from the Midwestern University community
mean to you?
Support from the Midwestern University community means everything. I feel as
though I am part of a team with people rooting for me to succeed. It inspired me to
work harder and make the community proud of me.

Blue Cross Blue Shield
of Arizona Scholarship
The Blue Cross Blue Shield of Arizona Scholarship was formed in 2013 to benefit
students in good academic standing in their second, third, and fourth years of study.
The scholarship is awarded to students who have demonstrated a commitment
to community service. This year, Taylor Webster (Arizona College
of Optometry 2021) is a recipient of the Blue Cross Blue Shield of
Arizona Scholarship.
What made you want to be an optometrist?
I searched for a career that is stable, even in difficult economic periods. After job
shadowing many different careers, I finally got to know an optometrist, who was very
kind and helped me learn more about optometry and the quality of life enjoyed by
doctors of optometry. As I volunteered at vision screenings and learned more about
the eyes, I knew I would love to pursue optometry. Optometrists have excellent
training that allows them to give back to the community in various ways.
What’s the most important thing you’ve learned at Midwestern
University?
I have learned that each member of the health care community is vital. Patients are
best served as we work together to treat various conditions.
What does the support from the Midwestern University community
mean to you?
It is reassuring to know that the community is invested in our education and our lives
after graduation. Scholarships are a perfect way to build the school's reputation.

Dhingra Family Scholarship
The Dhingra Family Scholarship was established by Om Dhingra, R.Ph., and
Gobind Dhingra, who live in the Chicago suburbs and are the owners of community
pharmacies in the area. The Dhingra family decided to establish a student scholarship
to show their support for the quality pharmacy education provided at Midwestern
University’s Chicago College of Pharmacy. The scholarship is offered annually to
one student who exemplifies professionalism and leadership. This year’s recipient is
Taylor Kasal (Chicago College of Pharmacy 2020).
What made you want to be a pharmacist?
I wanted to be a pharmacist because I was very interested in the science
of chemicals and how they affect the human body. It is amazing how the use of
a drug can react in the body to treat patients and ultimately prevent disease
progression, allowing people to live longer.
What’s the most important thing you’ve learned at Midwestern
University?
The most important thing I’ve learned at Midwestern is that building strong
interprofessional relationships is one of the most valuable aspects in the practice of
healthcare. Developing clear communication among colleagues of all professions can
ultimately improve patient care. The culture developed at Midwestern has allowed
me to recognize the importance of working together with other professionals to
better serve our patients.
What does the support from the Midwestern University community
mean to you?
I cannot thank the community enough for their support to further my
education. The support that they provide gives light to students to keep pushing
toward their dream. To express my gratitude, I am honored to provide pharmacy
services back to the community who supported my progression throughout my
time at Midwestern University.

Memorial Scholarship
The Dr. Blake G. Osborn Memorial Scholarship, founded in 2016 by Blake’s parents
Dr. Bill and Betsy Osborn, his sister, Lacey Osborn, and his professor and friend,
Dr. Louis Sommerhalter, was established to honor the life and practice of
Dr. Blake Osborn (CDMA 2015). Blake devoted his attention to serving those
who needed affordable dental care the most, with a special interest in assisting

perpetuity by providing assistance to individuals who have demonstrated the same
spirit and generosity toward assisting underserved patients in their local communities.
This year’s recipient is Laura Yalim (College of Dental Medicine–
Arizona 2019).
What made you want to be a dentist?
Throughout my life I have always enjoyed learning science and math, so
I knew I wanted to become a health professional. Fast forward to my undergraduate
career, I started volunteering for two community dental clinics and I absolutely
loved it. I never looked back and here I am now as a fourth-year dental student
at Midwestern University.
What’s the most important thing you’ve learned at Midwestern
University?
Midwestern University taught me the skills and knowledge to provide exceptional
dental care to my patients.
What does the support from the Midwestern University community
mean to you?
It means so much that Midwestern University granted me with this scholarship.
I am very honored and happy, and I promise it is being put to good use.

Daniel E. Sullivan, D.O.
Scholarship
Sometimes, life’s unexpected curveballs set you on the right course even
though you don’t realize it at the time. For Daniel E. Sullivan, D.O. (CCOM
1974), his curveball came during the military residency match program shortly
before his graduation from the Chicago College of Osteopathic Medicine.
Dr. Sullivan had his heart set on obtaining an OB/GYN residency with the
U.S. Army. Instead, he was offered a rotating internship at the Tripler Army
Medical Center in Honolulu, Hawaii, with the opportunity to reapply for the
OB/GYN position after a year. “At this point in my life, I still consider my
rotating internship the best year I ever had in medicine,” Dr. Sullivan
says. “I had rotations through several surgery and medical disciplines
including pediatrics, cardiology, OB/GYN, orthopedics, pulmonology,
and gastroenterology. After the orthopedics rotation, I realized that was
the discipline I desperately coveted. I applied for an orthopedics residency
position and, to my great fortune, was chosen. If I had not done the rotating
internship, I’d have figured it out too late and would be sorry about that.”
Dr. Sullivan completed an orthopedic surgery residency at Tripler
including rotations at Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Washington, D.C.
and Shriners Hospital for children with disabilities in Honolulu. Upon
completion of his residency, Dr. Sullivan spent two years as Chief of
Orthopedics at Fort Leonardwood Hospital in Missouri. After leaving the
army Dr. Sullivan completed a fellowship in spinal injury surgery at
Northwestern University Medical Center. He then joined Northwest
Orthpedics on the north side of Chicago. He practiced orthopedics and
spinal surgery for the next 33 years and held several leadership positions
including President of Medical Staff at Resurrection Hospital.
“I loved practicing orthopedics. It’s a surgical discipline that I would pay
to do. It was nice that I was getting paid to do it and I absolutely loved going to

Dr. Jeffrey and Cecelia Jensen
Scholarship Fund
When Jeffrey Jensen, D.P.M., FACFAS, arrived at Midwestern University
in the fall of 2017 to become Program Director for the Arizona School
of Podiatric Medicine (AZPod) and Associate Dean of the College
of Health Sciences, he brought with him an extensive background in
research and innovation.
Dr. Jensen holds 10 United States patents relating to podiatric medicine in
the areas of diabetic foot ulcer offloading, postsurgical care, fracture care, and
antimicrobials. Prior to arriving at Midwestern University, while working as the
Dean of the Barry University School of Podiatric Medicine, he also served as
the Senior Director of Research at the Paul & Margaret Brand Research Center.
His research background drives him to inspire his AZPod students to get
an early start on developing proactive research habits, and it is one of the
factors that led him and his wife, Cecelia, to donate $125,000 over five years
to support student-initiated research projects. Student-initiated research
is one of AZPod’s three main areas of interest in research and publication,
along with clinical trials and grant research through entities such as the
National Institute of Health and the Department of Defense.
The Jensens’ scholarship fund provides $25,000 per year over five years,
divided between five key areas: surgery, diabetic foot care, biomechanics
and sports medicine, wound care, and innovation in podiatric research.
Two $2,500 scholarships will be awarded per focus area per year. Each of
the scholarships is named after a specific individual important to the Jensens
with a meaningful connection to each area of research.
The Earl G. Kaplan, D.P.M., Surgical Research Scholarship’s namesake is

Costin Institute Develops Next
Generation of Academic Leaders
“We are all leaders,” is a belief held by Patricia Krohmer, M.S., M.B.A.,
Director of the Costin Institute on the Downers Grove Campus of Midwestern
University. Creating an opportunity and resource for people to evolve into
the best leaders they can be is the primary focus of the Costin Institute.
The Costin Institute is a year-long educational experience specifically designed
to nurture future leaders as they transition from successful clinical practice into
academia. The Institute also prepares individuals who are on track for promotion
within their organization. “We are hoping to build participants’ knowledge,
skills, and abilities so they can be more effective at their institutions and have a
greater impact on their profession,” Ms. Krohmer said. “Within Costin, we are
focused on developing research, leadership, teaching, and administrative skills.”
The Institute was established 16 years ago through an endowed contribution
from the Osteopathic Heritage Foundation. It is named in honor of J. Richard
Costin, D.O., one of the osteopathic profession’s leading surgeons and teachers
of general surgery. Dr. Costin graduated from the Chicago College of
Osteopathic Medicine (CCOM) in 1949 and served on the board of CCOM
from 1976 to 1996.
Originally designed as a leadership development program for osteopathic
physicians, the Institute has grown and evolved over time. Today, each class
of Costin Scholars consists of healthcare professionals and administrators from
a variety of disciplines and academic institutions. A typical cohort includes
10 to 20 individuals who apply to the program and commit to participating in
four learning-intensive weekends that occur throughout the year. The scholars
also work on an in-depth research project of their own design.
“The curriculum is amazing. It does a great job of helping you understand
how your natural leadership style could be tweaked to be better,” said

Nina Mason Pulliam
Charitable Trust Grants
In the more than 20 years since Midwestern University established its
Glendale Campus, growth has been a constant. New colleges, new classrooms,
new clinics – each year, the University has pursued new avenues of expansion
in the course of training the healthcare leaders of tomorrow.
One of the key focus areas of Midwestern’s growth plan continues to be its
outreach programs. Part of the University’s basic philosophy is that its faculty,
staff, students, and graduates should make community service an integral
part of their personal and professional lives. To that end, Midwestern has
fostered initiatives and apportioned resources to facilitate that outreach.
Two of these initiatives – the College of Veterinary Medicine’s Shelter
Medicine Program, and the Arizona College of Optometry’s Vision
Medical Assistance Program – received grants from the Nina Mason Pulliam
Charitable Trust, a philanthropic organization that has spent 20 years and
nearly $300 million supporting humanitarian and animal welfare causes
in Arizona and Indiana.
“Both Midwestern’s veterinary shelter medicine and optometry programs align
strongly with elements of the Trust’s priority giving areas of Helping People
in Need and Protecting Animals and Nature,” says Gene D’Adamo, the Trust’s
President and Chief Executive Officer. “We appreciate the quality of both
programs and the state-of-the-art facilities and instruction, which ensure that
both human and animal patients are being served with the best available care.”
The Trust awarded a $125,000 grant to the College of Veterinary Medicine
(CVM) to expand the College’s shelter medicine services, which provide free
spay and neuter surgeries, immunizations, and companion animal care for
approximately 1,200 animals per year in local shelters and underserved com-
munities. CVM students volunteer for shelter medicine service, accompanying
the University’s Mobile Clinic to rural areas to provide immediate care.
