Dear College of Medicine Alumni:
As the College of Medicine and the world unfortunately continues to deal with the coronavirus pandemic, I truly hope you and your family and friends have remained safe and healthy. I share my sincere thanks and appreciation for all you have done as physicians to care for your patients throughout this difficult time.
Despite COVID, our recruitment activities for the Class of 2026 continue in earnest and our new class is taking shape. As with last year, most of this work is being done virtually. All indications are that we will have another outstanding class arriving this fall.
As medical education continues to evolve, we continue to do all we can to provide our students with the best experience possible for their medical education. We are continuing our work revising our curriculum and have introduced changes to improve student wellness and eliminate disparities. Additional work is ongoing in several other areas, such as revising our competencies and assessment methods and creating opportunities so each student can be competitive in whatever specialty they choose. Meanwhile, our students continue to have USMLE scores above the national average, excellent match outcomes and consistently positive feedback from residency programs concerning their clinical strengths.
I am always proud of our alumni and the many ways you positively impact the lives of your patients. Each of you is a vital member of your community, improving the health and wellbeing of countless people. So, it is especially sad whenever we learn of the death of an alumnus. One recent example is Dr. Timothy Freeman, Class of 1984, who died Feb. 3 at age 66. Dr. Freeman was a pioneer in the care of adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities. He also was a faculty member for more than 30 years where he trained medical students and residents and inspired many to enter family medicine. This is just one example of the tremendous contributions made by our outstanding alumni.
Thank you for staying connected with your College of Medicine.
Sincerely,
|
