Frontiers
Stories of Healing, Education and Discovery
For almost 20 years, it has been an honor for me to work in partnership with James Neutens, PhD, who has retired as the dean of our partnering academic institution, the University of Tennessee Graduate School of Medicine. In this issue of Frontiers, we spotlight some of the accomplishments made during his tenure as dean, which have supported our mission for excellence in healing, education and discovery.
It is also an honor to introduce his successor, Paul Hauptman, MD, to the medical center. You will be able to read more about him in our next issue.
We hope you also enjoy reading some of our latest success stories about helping our patients lead healthier lives. As always we welcome your feedback at frontiers@utmck.edu.
