Medical School

As we start the new year, we have plenty of snow and the ski enthusiasts are spending all the free time they can find on the slopes practicing for the Annual Faculty-Student Slalom scheduled for January 28.

Plans are still going forward for the May 20 meeting of the Nathan Smith Medical Society. We hope you will be here to see and hear about all the progress at the School, and to participate in the election of officers.
