After two years of preparation and much anticipation, next week, March 9-12, the School of Medicine will host the Liaison Committee on Medical Education. This “LCME site visit” is the most important event for any medical school because it leads to accreditation and the privilege of being called an academic medical center.
UAB’s goal is to become the preferred academic medical center of the 21st century. To do that, we must transform.
Welcome to the first Dean’s Message of 2014. I hope everyone enjoyed a peaceful and joyous holiday with friends and family.
The Blazers' win over the 16th ranked UNC Tar Heels was inspirational, and had much in common with the School of Medicine's drive for transformational growth and excellence.
When I arrived at UAB as a young assistant professor in 1994 the medical center was booming. The building of North Pavilion had just been completed and the School of Medicine was ranked 16th in NIH funding. It was an exciting time.
