A Century in the Making: 2024 Department of Medicine Annual Awards Soirée

Last Thursday, we blew out the candles on our cake, and in the blink of an eye, another year had passed. But with every candle blown comes the chance to make a wish - and we believe each ending is the start of something even better.

We didn’t just celebrate 100 years of the ÎÛÎÛ²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵ Department of Medicine - we celebrated the strength of our community and all we've accomplished together over the past year. A century of history, full of highs and lows, has shaped this department into what it is today, and we owe our resilience to YOU.

Our deep gratitude goes to the former Chairs of the Department of Medicine, who gathered with us for the recreation of a commemorative photo, capturing just how far we’ve come. Thank you for your leadership and for guiding us here today.
