The University of Virginia held the first Conference Reunion on April 12-14 for alumni of its Biomedical Sciences (BMIS) Graduate Program. Dr. Valdes was in attendance along with over 200 postgraduates. He also participated in Alumni-Trainee discussions with graduate students. Dr. Valdes focused on careers in Laboratory Medicine, Clinical Chemistry and Toxicology.
David Wilkes, MD (Dean of UVA School of Medicine) provided an overview of activities and, importantly, welcomed the BMIS program graduates as officially “Alumni from the School of Medicine”. This officially means BMIS graduates join the ranks of the UVA Medical Alumni Association. Awesome news!
