2017年6月22日Hello,
如果我没有开始这项研究中断，我会被解雇。Chu博士本周宣布，他将辞去纪念Hermann Health System的总裁兼首席执行官，以追求他对卫生和公共政策的长期兴趣，重点是增强获得高质量护理的机会和人口健康的整体改善。我去年搬到休斯顿时第一次见到他博士。他的非凡背景，他对当今医疗保健问题的广泛理解，对近纪念赫尔曼大学的伙伴关系的奉献以及他安静的举止和谦卑印象深刻。重要的是要认识到，Uthealth和Memorial Hermann之间的伙伴关系仍然很强，并从纪念馆赫尔曼对大学继续承诺。查克·斯托克斯（Chuck Stokes）被任命为临时总裁兼首席执行官。我们很幸运能在Chuck的多年经验以及在TMC校园内的领导能力。我们都在这里帮助查克和他的团队使未来几个月的过渡尽可能顺利。
我工作中最好的部分是有机会见面并认识同事在Uthealth及其他六所学校中从事有意义的工作。外围beplay以下是过去两周的一些例子。
我本周首次遇到了流行病学，人类遗传学和环境科学系教授兼主席兼人类遗传学中心主任Alanna Morrison博士。她领导公共卫生学院的四个部门之一。我们很幸运能拥有一个全州的SPH，并拥有许多研究和实践机会。beplay苹果手机能用吗我和莫里森博士谈到了医学院和SPH可以增强合作的领域。
Together with Drs. Jon Tyson, Trey Miller, and Ricardo Mosquera, I recently met with Dr. David Buck, associate professor of family and community medicine at Baylor College of Medicine and founder and adviser to Healthcare for the Homeless. This student-run clinic was created in 1999 by Dr. Buck with a group of students from Baylor College of Medicine and our medical school. Today it is staffed by students from the two medical schools in addition to students from the UTHealth School of Public Health and the University of Houston College of Pharmacy, providing free primary care health services for the Houston homeless at four shelters as well as street outreach.
所有6个常规英航UTHealth院长见面sis. Last week I had the opportunity to meet one-on-one with Dean Lorraine Frazier of the UTHealth School of Nursing. Under Dean Frazier’s leadership, the school is growing with year-to-year increases in the size of the nursing school class. Dean Frazier is proposing a closer link with McGovern Medical School faculty and nurse practitioners to meet the growing need for clinical experiences for nurse practitioner students. She presented this proposal to our clinical chairs who were warmly receptive.
I had a quick weekend trip to Washington, D.C. to attend a meeting of the Nominating Committee of the National Academy of Medicine/Institute of Medicine. The committee prepared the final ballot for this year’s election, which will elect 65 members to the NAM. The nominations for 2019 begin in November, but it’s not too early to start considering names of senior faculty from UTHealth to propose for nomination.
Back at the medical school, in the Department of Neurology, Drs. Sean Savitz and Louise McCullough provided me with an update on the new Stroke Institute, and I attended a neurology town hall meeting that was led by Dr. Colasurdo. We are fortunate to have several outstanding departments working to advance neuro services and neurosciences—Neurology, Neurosurgery, Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, and others. It is wonderful to see the growth in innovative clinical and research programs in neurosciences and a growing partnership between clinicians and scientists working to make a difference in patients’ lives.
我听到了我们部门医学和康复的客座教授Zev Rymer博士的一次令人着迷的演讲。Rymer博士是神经科学研究计划工程主任；beplay苹果手机能用吗西北大学神经科学研究所教授，医学和康复，生理学和生物医学工程学；以及芝加哥雪莉·瑞安（Shirley Ryan）能力卢布（Shirley Ryan）的感觉运动表现计划。
我很高兴与UT MD Anderson癌症中心临时主席Marshall Hicks博士会面。Hicks博士是诊断成像的教授兼Levit Family杰出主席，自2010年以来一直担任MD Anderson的诊断成像部主管，并在该机构共享委员会的成长中发挥了领导作用。他对MD Anderson的重要性，他对MDA教师的尊重和钦佩以及他对与我们建立合作的兴趣的承诺感到震惊。
This is graduation season for our residents and fellows. Please join me in congratulating our graduates and wishing them well in the next chapter of their lives and careers.
希望您能够在下午4点参加女教师论坛颁奖典礼。7月5日在五楼画廊。这项活动纪念我们有成就的女教师，由教职员工办公室赞助。今年的获奖者是：Carmen Dessauer博士，凭借基础科学卓越；医学博士Amber Luong博士和朱莉·卡普洛（Julie Kaplow），博士学位，以临床科学卓越；医学博士詹妮弗·斯威尔斯（Jennifer Swails）正在获得后起之秀。
我将以一个有趣的故事结尾。当我去年5月参加年度儿科学术社会会议时，我参加了儿科研究协会（SPR）的总统讲话。beplay苹果手机能用吗演讲结束后，我向即将离任的SPR总裁兼议长Shari Barkin博士表示祝贺。我们开始聊天，她评论了我们学校的新名字，以及与麦戈文的个人家庭联系。她的父亲吉尔伯特·巴金（Gilbert Barkin）博士是约翰·麦戈文（John McGovern）博士在1950年代中期从乔治华盛顿大学（George Washington University）搬到休斯顿（Houston）的约翰·麦戈文（John McGovern）的第一个儿科过敏研究员。她的父母对约翰和凯瑟琳·麦戈文都非常了解，莎莉小时候见了他们。我忍不住邀请巴金博士成为儿科大弹言论家。她本周访问了，并就“从细胞到社会”发表了关于“小儿肥胖症”的出色演讲。但是我一周的绝对亮点是与莎莉（Shari）和凯西·麦戈文（Kathy McGovern）夫人共进晚餐 - 对旧时光进行了张开，并查看了莎莉（Shari）带来的精美旧照片 - 一个非常特别的夜晚。
Warm regards,
