Dean’s MessageChancellor’s CommuniquéI n Fe b r u a r y 19 81,j u s t m o n t h s b e fo r eSoutheastern College ofOsteopathic Medicine(SECOM) was set tobegin matriculatingits first class in NorthMiami Beach, the late Dr.Morton Terry discussedhis vision by saying, “Ourprimary goal is to producewell-trained primary carephysicians to meet thehe a l t h c a re needs ofFlorida and neighboringAnthony J. Silvagni, D.O., Pharm.D. states, particularly inrural and other medically underserved communities.”More than 25 years—and one merger—after Dr. Terry spokethose prophetic words about his brainchild, I am proudto say that NSU-COM has remained true to Dr. Terry’saforementioned mission as it relates to primary care andassisting the medically underserved. While we have becomea leader in modern medical education and medical practicethrough cutting-edge curricular enhancements in research,standardized patients, and distance learning, we steadfastlyadhere to the tenets espoused by Dr. Terry and the osteopathicprofession in the mission and operation of our college.For example, we require our students to participate in threemonths of rural rotations in medically underserved areas. Thisincludes our correctional medicine rotation, which has becomethe most requested rotation in the clinical curriculum. We arealso the only osteopathic college in the nation that requiresevery new D.O. faculty member who is allopathically boardcertified to become AOA-board certified within two years toensure that they remain current and project to our studentsosteopathic principles as they apply to their specialty.While we educate our students to prepare for any medicalspecialty that will make them successful, compassionate, and welladjusted physicians, our curriculum also exposes our students toexperiences that show the professional satisfaction and holisticpractice associated with primary care medicine and practicing inmedically underserved rural and urban communities. We havealso experienced a continuous growth in the number of residencypositions and affiliated residency programs—the majority ofwhich are primary care in nature—while many other institutionshave lost positions and/or programs or failed to make a majorcommitment to graduate medical education.2G raduation is alwaysa ver y meaningfulexperience to me,particularly because itserves as a culminationof the students’ academicp ro g r e s s w h i l e a l s oreminding me of theacademic and futureprogress it indicates forthe Health ProfessionsDivision and theuniversity.Proof of our adherence to Dr. Terry’s original mission canbe found in the latest U.S. News & World Report survey of“America’s Best Graduate Schools 2007.” In the report, NSUCOM ranked fifth out of all U.S. allopathic and osteopathicmedical schools in regard to turning out the most primarycare residents—a hefty 77 percent—and, of the top five, numberone numerically based on total numbers. Our emphasison primary care can also be illustrated by the fact that thelargest two departments located within the college are familymedicine and internal medicine.In the field of primary care, we are the only osteopathicmedical school in the United States to offer a preventivemedicine residency. Additionally, our students are providedscholarships to pursue a master of public health (M.P.H.)degree, which is not available, to my knowledge, at any othermedical school in the country. The M.P.H. scholarship is alsoavailable to every residency in our OPTI—the Consortium forExcellence in Medical Education.We also have a geriatrics fellowship for osteopathic familyphysicians and are currently expanding it to includeosteopathic internal medicine physicians. And we areestablishing, thanks to a federal grant, the first correctionalmedicine fellowship in the world, which will provide anothermedically underserved population with better specializedcare—the prison population.Everyone involved with the college should feel proud of the factthat through the participation of our faculty, administration,students, and alumni, the college has positioned itself as afirst-class educational entity that currently ranks as the 15thlargest medical school and the 5th largest osteopathic medicalschool in the nation.Although NSU-COM has programmatically expanded intomany other areas over the years, we continue to adhere to theprimary tenets of osteopathic principles and practice, whichinclude focusing on holistic care, which is best expressed inprimary care, and providing care to all medically underservedpopulations within rural and urban areas at local, regional,state, national, and international levels. Through populationand community-based medicine, we are able to provide ourstudents with a more global holistic approach to patient carenever before fully appreciated in a formal environment.COM Outlook . Summer 2006For example, when ourosteopathic medicalstudents walked across the stage at the Bank Atlantic Centeron May 28, they did so knowing of all the on-campusenhancements that are going to occur in the near future.However, when the class of 2006 was initially accepted formatriculation over four years ago, there was no discussionabout creating an Academical Village, nor were there plansto build a hospital by the North Broward Hospital Districton the NSU campus, which will bring about many healtheducation collaborative opportunities.Fred Lippman, R.Ph., Ed.D.Similarly, the cutting-edge University Center, which willopen later this year and serve our students by combiningNCAA Division II athletics, intramural athletics, and studentwellness, was only in its initial development stage whenthe recent graduating class began entertaining thoughts ofattending the College of Osteopathic Medicine.Does the construction of a multipurpose University Centermean a lot to our medical students? Yes, it does, especially whenyou consider that HPD students account for nearly 60 percentof the participation in the university’s assorted intramuralactivities. And now we’re looking forward to the constructionof a very extensive and sophisticated research building, whichwill be a 208,000-square-foot facility that will benefit not onlyour medical students and their teaching faculty but also theentire research community here at NSU.What also come to mind during graduation are the incredibleaccomplishments of our faculty and students in the emergingimage and reality that is now part of the NSU mission, which isresearch. We are now at a level of about 45 million in fundedresearch grants, which is starting to put the university in a veryunique area because once you reach the 100-million figure,you’re really playing in the big time. That’s why the universityleadership has set a personal goal to get us to that magic 100-million mark within the next five years. We’re clearly ata turning point not only in the Health Professions Divisionbut also in the university in terms of taking a very large step.There’s a lot of focus on Nova Southeastern University andits interests in the field of research, particularly biomedicaland biotechnical research, and for good reason because we’redoing exceptional research.For the students, graduation is a time for them to reflect—witha sense of relief—on their academic accomplishments andthe culmination of their didactic and initial clinical traininghere at the College of Osteopathic Medicine. We here atthe Health Professions Division also feel that same senseof accomplishment, because as our graduates move on andbecome successful, it helps the university become moresuccessful as well.I have played a part in all our graduation ceremonies, includingthe first one, which took place in 1985 at the civic center atNorth Miami Beach’s City Hall and featured a graduating classof 35. Back then, only the mother college of the HPD, whichwas then known as Southeastern College of OsteopathicMedicine, was in existence. Over two decades later, The HealthProfessions Division has become such a multi-professionalteaching facility that it’s gotten to the point where we have tohold two separate graduation ceremonies—one for the nonallied health professions in May and one for the allied healthprofessions in August.Equally as important as the actual graduation ceremony isa wonderful series of senior awards dinners we coordinatethe two nights before graduation. They are very festive andextremely well-attended events that give the students, theirfamilies, and their significant others an opportunity tohave a good time and celebrate the students’ educationalcareers by rewarding their colleagues and friends for theiracademic achievements.It gives me a really good feeling to watch our students revel intheir accomplishments, to see the warmth and camaraderiethat pervades each graduation ceremony. It’s a very specialexperience not only for the graduates but also for those of uswho have witnessed them grow and mature throughout theirmatriculation here at NSU’s Health Professions Division.COM Outlook .
