Coming Soon to a Medical School Dear to You: The New TUSM by Sandra Harmon Weiss, MD ’74
“I have lived in, worked in, and
visited many wonderful buildings in my life, but few excited me as much as TUSM’s soon-to-open new home. I think of it as a personal medical education castle that I will share with thousands of friends, new and old.” Although ground was broken for the project just five years ago, the need for the building actually began mounting when I graduated from TUSM 35 years ago! That’s how long it’s been since a new structure has been built for the school. This building has been a long time coming, and now, with its completion just a few months away, the School of Medicine is literally about to cross a new threshold. We will begin to usher in this new era in August 2009, when the building opens its doors for the Class of 2013. Then, on October 29, 30 and 31, 2009, we will celebrate the opening officially with a variety of academic and social events. Please, join us!

Day One (Thursday, October 29) will consist of seminars on biomedical research, with four tracks: AIDS, neuroscience, cancer and cardiovascular research. Speakers will include nationally and internationally respected researchers from Temple as well as from industry, other universities, and the National Institutes of Health. Noted alumna and eminent molecular biologist Shirley Tilghman, PhD ’75, Princeton University president, will deliver the keynote address.
On Day Three (Saturday, October 31), we continue with a breakfast followed by a program featuring the school’s educational programs, with a special focus on “service learning,” a fascinating new tenet of medical education. Following lunch, we will offer guided tours of the building featuring presentations by alumni, students, and faculty who have done service work both locally and abroad. Drs. Vince and Vance Moss, 1998 alumni and 2008 ABC News People of the Year (see page 3), will deliver the keynote. Keynote speaker Shirley Tilghman, PhD, is renowned for her pioneering research in mammalian developmental genetics and her national leadership in promoting careers in science.
Day Two (Friday, October 30) will feature the official ribboncutting ceremony for the building, with personal greetings from school, university, and city and state officials. With cheerleaders, singers and trumpeters, it promises to be a festive ceremony with a very creative ribbon-cutting (sorry, can’t tell you, come and see!). Following, we will have an informal reception and give tours of the new building. A luncheon will then be held for the building’s major donors. Later in the afternoon, the White Coat Ceremony for the Class of 2013 will be held. Jordan Cohen, MD, president emeritus of the Association of American Medical Colleges, will give the keynote. And in the evening, Class Reunion events will begin for MDs who graduated from TUSM in years ending in 4 and 9 — my class of 1974 among them!
Please mark your calendars for
I understand that I have described to you many dates and many events, and I trust that you are taking notes on those of most interest to you. This grand new building will add vitality and excitement to our already extraordinary medical school — and I promise that everyone who participates in the momentous occasion of its opening will not only experience the “wow” of its beauty but also a feeling of pride as we see the great traditions of Temple medicine carrying forward. Truly, this is a once-in-alifetime event for all of us. Please mark your calendars for October 29-31 and watch your mail this summer for more information.

Vance Moss, MD ’98, and Vince Moss, MD ’98, were named ABC News 2008 Persons of the Year for their amazing volunteer missions to aid Afghani civilians. After hearing about the suffering of civilians in the war-torn country, the twins, both surgeons and U.S. Army reservists since college, felt compelled to act. They approached the U.S. military and State Department about a medical mission, but their proposal was turned down due to safety concerns. So they took matters into their own hands—chartering a jet, stocking it with medical supplies, and hiring security, all at their own expense. The Mosses have conducted two missions to Afghanistan, where they worked under the most challenging conditions. “When you look at the eyes of the little kids,” said Vance Moss, MD, “you will come to the same conclusion that we have: It certainly was worth it.” Last fall, TUSM presented the Drs. Moss with Humanism in Medicine Awards on the occasion of their 10th anniversary class reunion. Both are affiliate faculty members based at Crozer Chester Medical Center, Upland, Pa.

Robert Folberg, MD ’75, has been named the founding dean of a new medical school: The Oakland University William Beaumont School of Medicine, which will open in 2010 with a charter class of 50 students. This new medical school is expected to lessen the predicted shortage of physicians in Michigan and attract renowned educators and researchers to the region. An ocular pathologist with an international reputation in the field, Dr. Folberg has served as chair of the department of pathology at University of Illinois Hospital in Chicago since 2000. In addition to his role as dean of OUWBSM, he will serve as Beaumont Hospital’s chief academic officer and professor of biomedical sciences, pathology and ophthalmology. “To be named the founding dean of the new medical school is humbling indeed,” he said.
TUSM Founds TIME TUSM has established a new teaching academy called TIME, the Temple Institute for Medical Education. Its mission is to enhance the education of medical students and residents through faculty development and recognition of educational innovation. Another mission of TIME is to build the next generation of educators. A number of medical schools throughout the U.S. are developing academies like TIME, and many belong to the Association of American Medical Colleges’ Consortium of Teaching Academies. Residencies, Class of 2009 The members of Class of 2009 received the results of their residency matches on March 19. The results were excellent, with Temple students matching at highly competitive programs both regionally and nationwide. Highlights: 68 students will remain in Pennsylvania, including 22 at Temple; another 22 matched at Temple’s major academic teaching affiliates (Abington, Crozer Chester, Geisinger, St. Luke’s, West Penn, and St. Chris).

PHIL ANTHROPY NOTES Sutliff Supports a Scholar Retired TUSM alumnus and faculty member, Frederick P. Sutliff, MD ’46, responded generously to the national concern over the rise of medical student debt with his most recent gift of $15,000 to Frederick Sutliff, MD, right, with Temple’s Support-a-Scholar fellow alumnus Fraser Lewis, MD ’60 campaign. Term scholarships are unique because 100% of the money donated goes directly to students with financial need. Dr. Sutliff’s contribution will assist a first-year student and follow him or her all four years. Dr. Sutliff has always been dedicated to Temple. It’s where he attained his medical degree, residency, master’s degree, and spent his entire career. He officially retired in 2007 but stays active in the School’s alumni activities and serves on various leadership committees and boards. “Medical school is a rewarding experience, but with tuition on the rise nationally, it can also be a daunting one,” says Dr. Sutliff. “Giving to a scholarship fund is a way for me to stay connected with today’s medical students and fondly remember my time at Temple.”
Synthes SUPPORTS New Fresh Tissue Lab Fresh cadaver tissue is an important teaching and research tool. Synthes, a Paoli, Pa.-based global medical device company that develops instruments, implants and biomaterials for the surgical fixation, correction and regeneration of the skeleton and its soft tissues, has made a gift of $25,000 to support the fresh tissue lab in the new building’s gross anatomy suite. The lab will be outfitted with refrigerated lockers for the short-term storage of two non-embalmed cadavers. It will also feature two operating tables surrounded by authentic surgical lighting and instruments, a space replicating a real surgery suite where faculty and trainees can simulate surgical techniques. Further, Synthes will showcase its technology with training sessions with TUSM faculty in the lab. “This venture is a great example of the private sector and academic community working together for the overall advancement of medicine,” says Rick Gennett, president of Synthes Trauma.

P.J. Brennan, MD ’82, wanted to show appreciation to his parents, Bette and Joseph Brennan, for their devotion and support over the years—and his gift of $25,000 towards the Alumni Bridge connecting TUSM’s new building with Kresge Hall will provide a permanent legacy in their honor. Bette Brennan was an emergency department nurse who worked near P.J.’s high school, so he has her to thank for his early exposure to medicine. Joseph Brennan was a business manager who worked for the same company for 43 years. Now retired, they reside in Schuylkill County. P.J. is also devoted to his sister, Sheila Brennan Connor, PHM ’79, who taught pharmacy law at Temple for 15 years. “I decided the Alumni Bridge was the most appropriate place for my gift. I like the symbolism of connecting the old with the new,” says Dr. Brennan, professor of medicine at University of Pennsylvania’s School of Medicine and chief medical officer and senior vice president of the University of Pennsylvania Health System.
