Dr. Madelin Ramil steps into the role of Dean of the School of Podiatric Medicine after a career spanning private practice, residency leadership at HCA Florida Westside Hospital, and international surgical training in Spain and Italy. A Barry graduate and co-founder of The Dr. Charles C. Southerland Jr. Yucatan Children’s Project, she has dedicated nearly two decades to advancing podiatric care for underserved children.
Dr. Rodolfo Bonnin will serve as the inaugural Dean of the School of Social Work and Mental Health.

At Barry, he will expand experiential learning, strengthen research, and deepen community engagement.
Strategic Partnerships Open New Opportunities for Students
The newly signed memoranda of understanding (MOUs) with Larkin University, Larkin Health System, and Independent Living Systems will provide students with clinical training sites, research opportunities, and direct hands-on experience and pathways into the professional field. This collaboration is the first of many coming to the College and Barry continues to reinforce the importance of strategic partnerships to bring new opportunities for students.
