As we wind down 2024 and look forward to 2025, it is appropriate to spend some time in reflection.
I am immensely proud of the UNMC ID Division and our contributions and accomplishments in 2024 – truly a great team effort! UNMC ID faculty were recognized within the organization and community, as well as nationally and internationally, for our expertise and delivery of compassionate patient care, effective education, innovative research, and valuable service. The faculty could not have accomplished the mission without the tremendous assistance of our provider colleagues, research personnel, and administrative support. Again, UNMC ID was near the top of the list of internal medicine divisions in terms of publications, grants and contracts, and awards for teaching and service. Keep up the great work in 2025!
For me personally, 2025 will be bittersweet as I stepdown from the ID Division Chief position. It has been an incredible honor for me to serve as the Chief for nearly the past 14 years and to see the Division flourish and rise to such great heights. It gives me great comfort to know the Division is well-positioned to continue its upward trajectory and I have full faith that with the leadership of the new Chief, Dr. David Warren, the ID Division will continue to exceed expectations. One thing for sure, there will be a friendly presence in Chair’s office as I serve my stint as Interim Chair of the Department of Internal Medicine.
My warmest wishes to the UNMC ID Division family for a joyous holiday season and a healthy and prosperous 2025!
