Dear colleagues,
Spring is here and we’ve had a lot of excitement around the UCI campus!
We recently celebrated Match Day and watched as graduating medical school students found out where they will spend the next several years of their careers in residency.
Watch a video recap of 2022 UCI Match Day.
Also this spring, the newly-formed Women’s Leadership Academy graduated its first cohort of 19 faculty from the program. The Academy is a unique and experiential professional development program for early and mid-career, woman-identified faculty in the School of Medicine that was formed in 2021.
We also just completed the annual Grad Slam contest! Kudos to Rachel Sousa and Desiree Macchia, two of our PhD students, who won first and third-place respectively in this year’s contest.
On the research front, I’m pleased to announce that two of our UCI colleagues have been elected as Fellows to the American Academy of Microbiology. Also, congratulations to Selma Masri, PhD, who received the 2022 Johnson & Johnson WiSTEM2D Scholars Award for Science.
I’m also pleased to announce the recent launch of our new Institute for Precision Health. The institute will bring a multifaceted, integrated approach to what many call the next great advancement in healthcare.
And finally, UCI Health was recently named an age-friendly health system, the highest designation in care for senior patient from the Institute for Healthcare Improvement (IHI). Also Joseph Carmichael, MD, and his colleagues recently earned accreditation from the National Accreditation Program for Rectal Cancer. This distinguishes UCI as one of only 45 rectal cancer programs in the nation and the first in Orange County to hold this designation.
As you read this edition of the UCI School of Medicine News & Events, please remember to share your ideas and stories with us at SOMNews@uci.edu.
Sincerely,
Michael J. Stamos, MD Dean, UCI School of Medicine
Discover. Teach. Heal.
