Keshani Bhushan, MD, MPH, FACP, was one of two recipients of the Medical College of Wisconsin (MCW) 2019 Society of Teaching Scholars Marvin Wagner, MD, Preceptor Award, for her commitment to the education of medical students from MCW-Central Wisconsin in Wausau.
The Wagner Award recognizes the important contributions and valuable service provided by volunteer instructors and clinical faculty members in helping to educate MCW students, residents and fellows. Recipients of this award demonstrate the same type of infectious enthusiasm, selfless dedication, effective teaching and outstanding contributions that Dr. Wagner exemplified in his 50+ years as a clinical faculty member at MCW.
Dr. Bhushan is a hospitalist at Ascension St. Clare’s Hospital, part of Ascension Wisconsin, where she sees patients for myriad acute medical and surgical reasons. She was on the first Regional Application Advisory Council as a community member physician and has been the lead faculty preceptor at her location since MCW-Central Wisconsin’s inaugural class members began their clerkships in 2017.
Dr. Bhushan earned her medical degree from Sawai Man Sign Medical College in India. Subsequently, she earned her master’s in public health from State University of New York in Buffalo, where she also completed her internship and residency in internal medicine.
“Dr. Bhushan represents the dedication and commitment that our community has shown to educate our students,” said MCW-Central Wisconsin Dean Lisa Grill Dodson, MD. “She is key in creating our next generation of physician leaders for this region.”
