On December 2, 2019, I began working at Rowan-VirtuaSOM. In my time here, I've had the opportunity to work with outstanding professionals, and I've been able to learn a lot about medical education and healthcare. I wanted to take this opportunity to thank everyone I've worked with over the last four years. It's been a wonderful experience, and I thank you all.

All Faculty Focus Newsletter and Update issues are available from the Faculty Focus Archive.

I thank all who help with content curation and those who have shared items with me for distribution.

Thank you, Steve

  • American Association of Colleges of Osteopathic Medicine (AACOM)
    Competitive Grant Program
    Due: 1/31/24
    • From announcement: "AACOM's Grants Program includes awards for medical education research and institutional research. Institutional research is a broad category of work done at colleges (and across colleges within a profession) to inform decision-making and planning. While collaborative, multi-institution research studies are desirable, the grant could support a pilot study or serve as the basis for seeking matching funds at individual institutions. Proposals pertaining to technology or artificial intelligence (AI) are of importance this year. Additionally, topics related to workforce issues—such as the implications of the expansion of osteopathic medical colleges, branch campuses, additional teaching sites, and class sizes—are of continued interest."
