Michigan AHEC at Wayne State University

Today, the Covenant HealthCare College of Medicine at Central Michigan University announced the appointment of its new dean, Dr. Joshua Nosanhuck, who will step into the role on July 1, 2026.

“Working in medicine means that we are always learning, sharing knowledge, and growing together to improve wellness, which doesn’t stop with medicine,” Nosanchuk said. “Wellness can involve art and music, nutrition, and so many things. Interdisciplinary education is a best practice and part of accreditation, and it can expand beyond traditional health profession programs. Medical education is all about growing people’s capacity to provide care to other people and about increasing providers’ abilities to have a positive impact on their patients and the communities they serve. It is about working together to improve healthy lives and lifestyles.”
