As the theme of this year’s gala suggested, we are “One Maryland, One Shock Trauma” and much of the success of our Shock Trauma Center is due to the depth of our collaborations with community members. Our location and our neighbors make the School of Medicine an exceptional hub for serving, learning, and investigating. We need to remember the community in which we work and study counts on us for our expertise and our resources. With that in mind, I want to encourage you to attend the first-ever SOM Day @ Lexington Market tomorrow - Wednesday, December 6 from 12:30-1:30 p.m. While some of our staff and medical students will provide information on routine cancer screenings and other resources, SOM staff, faculty, students, and trainees will also gather in the Baltimore Room of the market to have lunch together, taking advantage of the many local vendors and the discount that several of them offer to UMB OneCard holders.
Finally, I look forward to seeing everyone who RSVP’d at the School of Medicine’s Holiday Open House on Thursday, December 7!
With enthusiasm and commitment,
