Gratitude, Talent, and Vision Transform Health Care

 

The strength of an academic medical center lies in the quality of its medical education, the skill of its physician-scientists, and the philanthropic partners that accelerate a transformative future in health care. This month we celebrate the stories that define our commitment to medical training and patient care, including the Miller School Class of 2027 being welcomed at the John G. Clarkson White Coat and Freshman Pinning Ceremony. The ceremony is a major milestone on their journey to become exceptional health care leaders and providers. Read more here.
