Dr. Bogdewic to hold Copeland Professorship

Stephen Bogdewic, Ph.D., has been named the first Dr. George W. Copeland Professor of Family Medicine pending approval by the IU trustees.

The Copeland Professorship was established in 2001 by the estate of Dr. Copeland’s daughter, Aldean Copeland Winslow, in honor of her father. Dr. Copeland graduated from the University of Louisville School of Medicine. He practiced as a country doctor in southern Indiana at a time when physicians made house calls by horse and buggy and accepted barter for payment from patients who had no money.

Dr. Bogdewic will retain his current titles of executive associate dean for faculty affairs and professional development, adjunct professor of medicine and of pediatrics and professor, part-time, of public and environmental affairs in the School of Public and Environmental Affairs.

Dr. Bogdewic joined the IUSM faculty in 1992. He holds a bachelor’s degree in psychology from the Wheeling (W. Va.) Jesuit University, a master’s degree in marriage, family and child counseling from Santa Clara (Calif.) University and a doctorate in adult and higher education from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
