the Dean
IAM VERY PLEASED TO PRESENT the inaugural issue of NJMS
Pulse. This new magazine embodies the pride that all of us feel
for the academic accomplishments of our school. It also serves to
highlight our successes in meeting the challenges of today’s healthcare
environment.
Despite the uncertainties and distractions around us, the faculty, students
and staff of NJMS remain remarkably focused and dedicated to
achieving our commitment to excellence in medical education, research
and clinical care. Within these pages you will read about our innovative
biomedical research, exemplary medical care, and forward thinking revisions
to our curriculum. You will be reminded of the dedication of our
alumni to their patients and to their communities.
Each section of this issue speaks either directly or indirectly to the
passionate commitment this school has to its stakeholders, specifically
our city of Newark neighbors and their families and the wider northern
New Jersey community.
As you glance through these pages, I am confident that you will
appreciate, as I do, that NJMS is a vital resource to our community, to
our state of New Jersey, and to our nation. Congratulations to all of you:
our faculty, alumni, students, staff and community stakeholders for
helping our school achieve excellence.
