October 2018 Updates
Read the Dean's eNews for updates, announcements and information about upcoming events for friends of Rowan School of Osteopathic Medicine.
A Note from Dean Cavalieri
This year's OMED theme - "Come Together" - was appropriate for our SOM family in October. The month began with a large gathering in San Diego of current and former students, faculty and staff at the AOA sponsored exposition, followed mid-month by the annual meeting of our SOM faculty. Later in October, SOM representatives came together with colleagues from the University's other schools in celebrating Rowan's annual homecoming event.
All told, October was a busy month at SOM. Please take a few moments to read about other happenings on our campus and join me in congratulating Dr. Kaari and Dr. Leone for the special recognition they received for their research this month.
