Jeffrey Boscamp, MD, was named permanent dean of Hackensack Meridian School of Medicine, the Nutley, N.J.-based organization said Dec. 12.
Dr. Boscamp had been serving in an interim capacity since Bonita Stanton, MD, founding dean of the medical school, passed away in January. He will also serve as the distinguished Robert C. and Laura C. Garrett Endowed Chair for the School of Medicine Dean.
Dr. Boscamp previously served as vice dean of the private medical school, which is affiliated with Edison, N.J.-based Hackensack Meridian Health. He was heavily involved in the medical school's founding and co-chaired the search committee that brought Dr. Stanton on as dean.
"Dr. Boscamp has performed terrifically in the interim role, and he's proven to be a visionary educator," Robert C. Garrett, CEO of Hackensack Meridian Health, said in a news release. "We are excited to see how he leads the school to an ever-brighter future."
