Russell T. Joffe, MD Message from 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.
