ʼһ Pediatrics-Anesthesiology Residency Program Leadership

Program Director

Weisgerber_Mike_2020, Program Director. Dr. Weisgerber received his undergraduate degree from Marquette University. He received his medical degree from the ʼһ. He completed his pediatric residency at the Medical College of Georgia. He then returned to Milwaukee to complete a fellowship in general academic pediatrics and master’s degree in epidemiology from the ʼһ. Following fellowship he joined the department of pediatrics faculty as a pediatric hospitalist in 2004. He was an associate director of the pediatric residency program from 2008-2012 before becoming the program director in 2012. Dr. Weisgerber is an avid sports fan and he enjoys playing, coaching, and spectating. The only teams he likes more than Marquette are his daughters’ soccer teams. He enjoys the diversity of patients and conditions he sees as a hospitalist and is active in many aspects of medical education - from administration to teaching on the wards to educational research. “I love having three jobs in one - being a hospitalist, a clinician-educator and a Program Director! The people here at MCW are fantastic - whether it is the patients, the faculty, the nurses, the students, the fellows, the administrative staff - and of course the residents I can’t imagine being anywhere else.”
