The University of Wisconsin Medical School got its wish Friday as the Board of Regents unanimously agreed to approve the renaming of the school to the ââ?¬Å?University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health,ââ?¬Â effective Nov. 11 this year.
The name change is not without conditions, however. As part of the resolution the regents directed the medical school to immediately commence a ââ?¬Å?good faith dialogueââ?¬Â with the City of Milwaukee and the chancellor of UW-Milwaukee on specific strategies to address the public health issues facing portions of the impoverished city.
