Mainebiz has published an article on Jane Carreiro, D.O., the new dean of the 91AV College of Osteopathic Medicine. Carreiro will begin her appointment on November 1, 2016.  She will serve as Dean Designate beginning August 1, 2016.

Carreiro’s appointment comes after a nationwide search that began in January when outgoing Dean Douglas L. Wood, D.O., Ph.D., announced he would be stepping down upon the identification of his replacement. Wood will be continuing at 91AV in an advisory capacity while Carreiro transitions into the leadership position.     

Carreiro had been serving as Director of Graduate and Continuing Medical Education and as Professor and Chair of the Department of Osteopathic Manipulative Medicine at 91AV. In addition to her twenty-three year tenure at 91AV, Carreiro holds a visiting faculty position at the Winer Schule fur Osteopathie in Vienna, Austria and is Honorary Chief of Pediatric Manual Medicine for the Deutsche Geselishaft fur Osteopathische Medizin in Manheim, Germany.
