Dear Colleagues,

I am pleased to welcome you to this issue of Robert Wood Johnson Medicine, where we share some of the latest news, innovative programs, and inspiring stories about faculty, staff, learners, and alumni who bring new ideas and outstanding services to our community and beyond.

It is my honor to serve as dean of Rutgers Robert Wood Johnson Medical School, a place where learning, research, patient care, local and global service, and diversity combine to create an extraordinary medical home. Along with our medical partners, Rutgers Health, Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital, and RWJBarnabas Health, we are preparing tomorrow’s physicians to be compassionate health care providers trained in research-based medicine.
