The College of Health Professions is pleased to announce Christine Faulk, M.D. as the new chair of the Dean’s Advisory Council. The college extends its sincere appreciation to Jason Ladner for his leadership and service as chair over the past year.
Faulk is a proud Wichita State alumna, earning her Bachelor of Science in biological sciences before completing her M.D. at the University of Kansas School of Medicine–Wichita (KUSM‑W). She completed her internal medicine residency with the Wichita Center for Graduate Medical Education and later practiced with Ascension Medical Group (formerly The Wichita Clinic).
In 2006, Faulk joined KUSM-W as a teaching hospitalist at Via Christi-St. Francis, where she held leadership roles in medical education, directed faculty development and served on several key hospital committees. From 2016-25, she served in various roles at the Robert J. Dole VA Medical Center, including ICU staff physician and associate chief of staff for research. As the ACS for research, she worked closely with the College of Health Professions to build joint research and education efforts.
Faulk is a member of the American College of Physicians and a Fellow of the Society of Hospital Medicine.
She has remained closely connected to Wichita State through her service on the College of Health Professions Dean’s Advisory Council (2022-current) and the Board of Directors for the Shocker Athletic Scholarship Organization. The college appreciates her continued commitment and looks forward to her leadership in this new role.
