Joyce deJong is the dean of the Michigan State University College of Osteopathic Medicine. An alumna of the college, she began her appointment on Feb. 5, 2024.
Earlier this year, she had the opportunity to deploy to North Carolina with the Disaster Mortuary Operational Response Team (DMORT) under the National Disaster Medical System (NDMS) following the devastating impact of Hurricane Helene. Her team, composed of members from across the country, gathered in Charlotte before heading out to assist with the mission.
Conversation Highlights:
(1:08) - What is DMORT? What’s the mission? And how does your expertise fit into that mission?

(10:22) - How long have you been volunteering like this, and why do you do it?

(17:45) - Talk about your desire to bring that resilience back to MSU COM and about how your experience has reaffirmed some of your values that you believe are at the heart of osteopathic medicine and what you do at MSUCOM.
(21:05) - How is it going as dean? Any surprises?
