VERMILLION, S.D. (AP) — The medical school at the University of South Dakota has named a new assistant dean of medical student affairs.

The Sanford School of Medicine has appointed Dr. John Wempe to the position. His duties include career counselling for medical students at the school's four teaching campuses and assisting students as they progress through their medical training to graduation.

He will also participate in the medical school's admissions process and recruitment programs.

Wempe is a native of Parkston. He comes to the University of South Dakota after a more than 30-year career in the military. He most recently served as the CEO of the Department of Defense Medical Examination Review Board at the U.S. Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs, Colorado.
