They outlined several issues, most notably questionable hiring practices and poor collaboration between the Wexner medical Center and the James Cancer Hospital and Solove Research Institute, leading to an "Us vs. Them" atmosphere and culture. Please follow and like us:Dr. Sheldon Retchin, the CEO of the Wexner Medical Center, resigned Tuesday afternoon, just days after coming under public scrutiny following a string of letters to university leadership criticizing his job performance. Following the initial letter, a pair of letters were sent out on May 3 from other departments within the medical center, noting the same concerns identified with Retchin and Kent. The letters offered sharp criticism of Retchin, and the authors of one letter, dated May 1, wrote they had "no confidence" in his leadership and management. The letters were signed by many of Ohio State's most prominent doctors and professors within the Wexner Medical Center and College of Medicine, and were sent to University President Michael Drake, Provost Bruce McPheron, members of OSU's Board of Trustees and the chairman of the medical center's board, Les Wexner.




Wexner medical Center CEO Sheldon Retchin resigned on Tuesday following letters of "no confidence" from dozens of physicians and professors. "It is unfortunate that the Medical Center and College of Medicine leadership have created an environment of low morale, distrust and retaliation," the letter reads. "Sheldon came to us after more than four decades as one of the most respected and prominent academic medical center leaders in the country," Drake writes. Another letter signed by five clinical department chairs acknowledges the May 1 letter saying, "we have no confidence in the senior administrative leadership at OSUWMC." Ohio State University president Michael Drake announced Retchin's resignation in a letter on Tuesday evening.

OSU Wexner Medical Center CEO resigns

COLUMBUS, Ohio (WSYX/WTTE) -- The man atop the hierarchy at OSU Wexner Medical Center has stepped down, according Ohio State University. Dr. Sheldon Retchin has resigned as executive vice president of health sciences and chief executive officer of the Wexner Medical Center. I would like to express what an honor and privilege it has been to partner with President Michael Drake, the Ohio State University Board, the Wexner Medical Center Board and OSU Cabinet to lead the Wexner Medical Center and health sciences programs, and to serve this great Columbus community. I have worked hard to ensure best practices and the highest standards in line with nationally recognized institutions and to prepare the Wexner Medical Center for the ever-changing health care environment. Earlier in the week, allegations arose that doctors and professors expressed they had "no confidence" in Dr. Retchin.
