Greetings Medical Alumni!
After having sent several newsletters this month to share COVID-19 related news, we will now return to our end-of-the-month distribution schedule unless we have additional, time-sensitive information to share.
Inside Insight
- As procedures continue to evolve and education remains virtual during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, faculty and staff from the Offices of Medical Education-Continuous Quality Improvement and Student Affairs have provided updates per class here, where you can also find a recent communication to students, reminding them of available resources.
Staying Connected
- Though we can’t gather in person to celebrate the commencement of MD’20, you can still wish our graduates well as they begin their post-Medical School journey. Share words of wisdom or congratulatory messages here. Videos or written messages submitted will be shared online soon.
