Editor’ s Notes: A Tale of Two Commencements
This special edition of the Sharpest Scalpel ironically celebrates two commencements. First, there is the recognition of CDU’ s accomplished core of students graduating from the College of Medicine, the College of Science and Health and the Mervyn M. Dymally School of Nursing. Secondly, there is the long-anticipated site visit by the LCME accreditation team reviewing the University’ s 4-year MD program plan.
By now, the graduating celebrants are headed off to become great scientists, discerning healers, and leaders in the field of contemporary medicine and science. They will propel their dreams and ambitions with great determination.
CDU, Dr. Lindsey’ s village, has crafted a very special formula that will equip its students with the best kind of training available. This is a team of experts built for the long haul.
Warmly,
Lance A. Williams, PhD Editor
Conversely, the visit by the LCME accreditation team offers CDU the opportunity to demonstrate how thoroughly the University has embarked upon its comprehensive plan to operate a world-class 4-year MD program. Driving this effort is a group of passionate people, led by canny and sage leaders, each possessed with a resolve that is unflagging.
As Dr. Glenda Lindsey states in the conversation herein about the proposed curriculum, it takes a village to build and support a community such as the one being built for the proposed 4-year MD program. We at CDU have that capacity.
