Message From The DeanDear Alumni and Friends,It is always a pleasure for me to share with youinformation about the many good things that aretaking place at Jefferson. Following a successfulsite visit in April 2004, the Commission onHigher Education of the Middle StatesAssociation reaffirmed the University’s accreditation for a full 10-year term. As detailed in thisissue’s featured article, however, the “big story,”as they say on Action News, is the investiture onOctober 5, 2004 of the University’s fourthPresident, Robert L. Barchi, MD, PhD, distinguished scholar, researcher and universityadministrator. Dr. Barchi succeeds Dr. PaulBrucker, who stepped down after 14 years ofdistinguished service as Jefferson’s President. Inthis issue, you will find a wealth of informationon the investiture ceremony at the KimmelCenter, our new President’s background and hisvision for the future direction of Jefferson.Regarding activities related specifically toJefferson College of Health Professions, I willshare with you a very brief summary of the mostsalient current events; however, for a morecomplete picture, I invite you to visit the JCHPhome page (http://www.jefferson.edu/jchp)where you can access a detailed account in theCollege’s recently published annual report.Academic year 2003-04 marked another busyand productive period in JCHP history, and2004-05 is off to an equally promising start.Enrollment in the 2004 fall semester increasedover last year by more than 200 students, as thefirst cohorts entered new academic programs inthe departments of nursing, physical therapy andradiologic sciences. At the same time that a newchapter opened in the distinguished history ofnursing education at Jefferson with the implementation of the ASN program at MethodistHospital and the Geisinger Medical Center, theJCHP Alumni Association and the Departmentof Nursing are preparing a gala celebration forthe 30th anniversary of the first graduation ofstudents from the nursing degree programs. Inaddition to launching the ASN program, the newbachelor’s degree programs in radiation therapyand medical dosimetry and the first doctoralprogram in the College’s history (DPT) furtherattest to JCHP’s continued dynamic response tothe need to prepare future healthcare professionals at the full spectrum of academic levels.Research awards and related scholarly activitiesof the faculty continue to grow at impressiverates. The 4.6 million in grants and contractsawarded in FY 04 is more than double theamount received in FY 00 and places JCHPamong national leaders in research support forschools of allied health. In the most recent NIHstatistical report, JCHP’s nursing departmentranked 29th among nursing education programsnationwide that receive NIH funding.Increased collaboration between the College andother University and Hospital divisions continuesto provide new opportunities for the Jeffersonfamily. Dr. Laura Gitlin has helped to extend thelinkages of the College through her collaborationwith Dr. Sam Gandy in the Farber Institute forNeurosciences, who is conducting research onthe biology of Alzheimer’s disease and dementia.This past year JCHP’s and TJUH’s nursingdepartments hired two nurse specialists who willhold joint appointments in the two organizations.JCHP’s nursing faculty also includes a neonatalnurse practitioner jointly appointed with theduPont Hospital for Children. Perhaps the mostsignificant proposal for collaboration in theeducational arena is the plan to develop trulyinterdisciplinary learning experiences fornursing and medical students, including clinicalprocedural skills, confronting simulated clinicalsituations as a team, and rounding together onseveral units in the Hospital.Financial support for nursing students grewsignificantly over the past year as the number ofservice commitment scholarships with TJUH andother health systems hospitals increased from 38to 66, with a total value of almost 1.7 million.Additionally, a graduate assistantship program forstudents in occupational therapy and physicaltherapy, sponsored by the University Office ofFinancial Aid, continues to grow.Similarly, improvements have been made tofacilities and equipment in the Edison building.A portion of the space on the first floor formerlyoccupied by the sports medicine department hasbeen converted for use by the Department ofRadiologic Sciences and is now furnishedwith state of the art diagnostic equipment.The University has also approved plans for therenovation of additional space on the first floor toaccommodate the move of the JCHP AdmissionsOffice to an ideal location for increased visibilityand convenient access for prospective studentsand their families. A general “facelift” of theEdison lobby (improved lighting and appearance) is also underway, which, coupled with thecreative and informative designs of AlumniDirector Dottie Grieb in the glass display cases,continues to make this “gateway” to the Collegea brighter and more welcoming venue.Although these improvements represent agood start, much work is still needed. Increasingthe amount of funding available for generalscholarship support remains a significantchallenge. Constraints on capital funds over thepast several years have curtailed the facilities andtechnology development necessary to remaincompetitive in the current higher education marketplace. President Barchi has set a high priorityon determining the feasibility of addressing thisissue through the construction of the proposededucation/research building as a major component of a revised strategic plan for the University.Strategies to expand academic programs andincrease philanthropic support to the levelsnecessary to promote growth and developmentare vital elements of future planning.Clearly, Jefferson continues to achieve manyaccomplishments while also facing significantchallenges. With the support of alumni andfriends, and the renewed energy andcommitment of faculty, students and administration to our shared institutional mission andvision of advancing as a premier academichealthcare center, we can all be confident thatthe future remains bright and promising.James B. Erdmann, PhDDean3FALL 2004

Rendell.[Keynote speaker] Dr. Cohen posed the questionearlier: “why would anyone even want toconsider becoming president of Thomas JeffersonUniversity?” My answer, like his, is: who couldpass up the chance to lead an institution that hasprovided so much to this nation and to theworld? Who, when presented with Jefferson'slegacy, would not jump at the opportunity tocontinue to build on its outstanding record ofscience and service? This is the job of a lifetime.Today, we celebrate aninstitution. We gather torejoice in ThomasJefferson University'shistory, its traditions,its successes, and itsrich potential.
