Dr. Brian Kessler, dean and chief academic officer at the Jerry M. Wallace School of Osteopathic Medicine at Campbell University, will serve on the National Committee on Foreign Medical Education and Accreditation.

The NCFMEA evaluates accreditation standards applied to foreign medical schools and determines how they compare to U.S. medical school standards, the AACOM release says. Comparability is required for foreign medical schools to receive U.S federal financial aid. 

Kessler served as associate dean of clinical affairs for the Campbell Medical School in 2011, two years before it opened to students. He also spent five years as vice president, dean and chief academic officer for Lincoln Memorial University’s DeBusk College of Osteopathic Medicine in Tennessee. At Lincoln Memorial, he helped launch a branch campus in Knoxville, Tennessee, as vice president and dean. 

“I am honored to serve on the NCFMEA and help ensure our country’s future physicians meet the highest educational and clinical standards. As a proud DO, I feel it is imperative that the entire medical community be represented and heard on this important committee,” said Kessler in a press release.
