Excerpt from Dean's welcome letter, from 2006 annual report

"... With the opportunities provided by the WPP, the SMPH will set the national standard for an integrated school of medicine and public health.

In my vision of that integrated school, our students will understand community systems as well as organ systems. They will learn the best approaches to preventing, as well as diagnosing and treating diseases. Our researchers will collaborate so that epidemiological and population-based perspectives are integrated with basic, molecular approaches. Our clinicians will consider population-based public health approaches concomitant with traditional medical models.

With change in the air, we must continue nourishing the climate of collaboration. The Wisconsin Partnership Program is, at its essence, a wonderful example of this. While each arm of the WPP has its particular roles, responsibilities, and initiatives, their outcomes are interdependent. Community-academic partnerships and public health education programs push what we know now into the community, while research and education efforts develop the next generation of ideas, methodologies, tools, and leaders.

The Wisconsin Partnership Program is a powerful accelerator for transforming our institution and creating a healthier Wisconsin.

I look forward to everything we will accomplish... together."
