Dr. Samuel A.

Dr. McQuiston, who is certified by the American Board of Radiology, first joined the USA College of Medicine faculty in July 2005 and has since served as the co-director of the radiology residency program.

“We look forward to working with Dr. McQuiston in this new role,” said Dr. Samuel J. Strada, dean of the USA College of Medicine. “We are grateful to him for accepting the challenges of this office in this important component of our medical educational mission.”

Dr. McQuiston will replace Dr. Carole Boudreaux, associate professor of pathology at the USA College of Medicine, who was appointed to the position in 2011.

“We are extremely grateful for the dedicated effort, hard work, leadership and insight Dr. Boudreaux exerted in this role,” said Dr. Strada. “Especially in how she marshaled us during the accreditation of the institutional program.”

According to Dr. Strada, Dr. McQuiston has worked closely with Drs. Boudreaux and Luterman to make the leadership transition smooth.
