As students returned from break, they may have noticed a new face around campus. The health center added a new consulting physician to its staff, Dr. Cindy Asbjornsen. The hiring decision was announced through the student digest during spring break.
Asbjornsen, who has worked for Southern Maine Medical Center, the Advanced Vein Center, Parkview Hospital, and Maine Medical Center, will join Dr. Jeffrey Mahar as the College's consulting physician team.
The two will serve more than 20 hours a week at the Dudley Coe Health Center, providing care for Bowdoin students.
Since January of 2007, when Dr. Jeff Benson left his position as the college physician and director of the health center after seven years, Dudley Coe has been without a permanent physician, staffing the health center with nurse practitioners and part-time physicians.
