A new Year begins and with it we are proud to bring back “Medicine Matters.” The monthly Department of Medicine newsletter continues with a new look and new leadership. Kim Kelley-Wagner is our new Editor and Webmaster and I think you will agree that she has brought a fresh and vibrant look to the newsletter. I want to thank her and Terri Washington for their hard work on this project.
This month we highlight the Division of Infectious Disease under the leadership of Dr. Eric Houpt. Dr. Houpt has recently taken over the Division Chief role from Dr. William Petri. Under both of their guidance, the Division continues to be an institutional leader in far-reaching and highly impactful research. In addition, the Division is a leader in clinical care and education. Many of their faculty members hold critical institutional leadership positions and I think we can say without hesitation that the Division is certainly one of the top Infectious Disease groups in the country and world.
As we start the New Year, I would ask that we all take a moment to think about our yearly goals and aspirations. If there is anything that I or the Department can do to help you, then please let me know. Also, let me know if there are areas that we can improve in or provide you with better service. Finally, let us know what you think about the newsletter and how we can improve the content.
Here’s wishing you all a very happy and healthy new year.
