The Bogdewic Lectureship was founded in honor of Stephen P. Bogdewic, PhD, who retired from IU School of Medicine in 2019 after 28 years of distinguished service.
The first Bogdewic Lectureship was held in 2022. Over time, it has evolved from a traditional lecture to a 'fireside chat' interview with an influential leader in academic medicine.
Bogdewic was the first executive dean of Faculty Affairs and Professional Development and the School of Medicine's first executive vice dean. A cornerstone of his career has been the belief that we should do all we can to help faculty be successful. He built his career around faculty development and is nationally known for his innovative work in leadership development within the specialty of family medicine and, more broadly, in academic medicine.
Perhaps one of his greatest legacies is the development of the Leadership in Academic Medicine Program (LAMP), which he started in 2004. It has since been attended by more than 800 faculty members in the School of Medicine. After his retirement from IU, he continued the program at the University of North Carolina.
