From Faculty leadership

Leading with compassion and connection

As we come to the end of the academic year and I come to the end of my term as Interim Dean, I extend my sincere gratitude to each member of the Temerty Faculty of Medicine community. Your exceptional efforts contribute to our ongoing success in delivering world-class medical education and ground-breaking research. Your dedication ensures that Temerty Medicine continuously ranks amongst the world’s top institutions. As we celebrate our achievements, we also acknowledge that our community has been tested by global events that have sown distress and division here and permeated the places we teach, learn and work. Over the past months, I have found inspiration and hope in the work of Stephen Trzeciak, a critical-care clinician and compassion researcher at Cooper University Health Care in Camden, New Jersey.
