Stories of Healing, Education and Discovery
I am proud to introduce Paul Hauptman, MD, as the dean and chief academic officer of the University of Tennessee Graduate School of Medicine (UTGSM). His experience in medical education and research, as well as his clinical expertise in heart failure, will help open doors to new studies and new treatments.
Together The University of Tennessee Medical Center and UTGSM make up the region’s academic medical center. Our mission is threefold: to promote excellence through healing, education and discovery.
In this issue of Frontiers, we tell stories of hope, compassion and service. These stories show the benefits of having an academic medical center, right here in East Tennessee.
We hope you enjoy reading these stories. As always we welcome your feedback at frontiers@utmck.edu.
