Nearly 200 students, faculty and alumni gathered in Hiebert Lounge on Jan. 28 to network and stay warm from the winter weather at the second annual \u201cWine Down After Rounds.\u201d<\/p>\n
This student-driven initiative was designed as a way for medical students to interact with faculty and alumni to learn about different career pathways.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are excited to be part of this event and thank the students for inviting alumni to participate,\u201d said Associate Dean for Alumni Affairs Jean Ramsey, MD \u201990, MPH \u201908. \u201cAlumni appreciate the opportunity to meet current students and share their stories. It\u2019s always great to see students past and present together under one roof!\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cNetworking is an important part of any profession, so I\u2019m happy to return to BUSM to talk with students about where their medical career path can take them,\u201d said Alumni Board member Robert Najarian, MD ’05. Dr. Najarian is currently the medical director of the Pathology Center at University Gastroenterology in Portsmouth, Rhode Island, and an associate pathologist at Metrowest Pathology Associates, P.C., in Framingham, Mass.<\/p>\n
In addition, faculty were recognized by student-voted awards prompted by the Student Committee on Medical School Affairs (SCOMSA), as a testament to the exceptional faculty who teach, guide and mentor throughout the year.<\/p>\n
