Congratulations to our very own Dr. Carlos Dumois who won the FSU Outstanding Community Faculty Educator award! We're so proud of our Disney friend!

The Outstanding Community Faculty Educator Award recognizes clinical faculty members who consistently demonstrate dedication to principles of the curriculum, to identifying and meeting educational needs of students, and enthusiasm for teaching, participation in faculty development, and willingness to work collaboratively to deliver the clinical curriculum effectively. Dr. Dumois joined the FSU faculty in 2006.

Final Jeopardy 2012

This year's Final Jeopardy by the faculty had a Star Trek theme! It was a great time. And we will truly miss our graduates as they explore new worlds and civilizations... and go where no man has gone before! The graduates also did a GREAT job toasting the faculty! (A little too good...)

Congrats to Dr. Celeste Philips

Congratulations to our alumni Dr. Celeste Philips who went to the White House on February 24th! Here's a quote from the White House:

The White House Office of Public Engagement will host the American Heart Association and WomenHeart: The National Coalition for Women with Heart Disease, as part of the White House Community Leaders Briefing Series.  One hundred and fifty American Heart Association and WomenHeart volunteers, members, advocates, and staff from across the country will attend this briefing for individuals and organizations who work to  raise awareness among women about their risk of cardiovascular disease.

Dr. Philips was invited to participate in this briefing!

Celeste is a family and preventive medicine physician who has seen the effects of cardiovascular disease first hand through her work with patients and her own experiences with family members.  She has dedicated her career to prevention and public health, with a special focus on the elimination of health disparities.  Through her position with the Florida Department of Health, she is working with communities to increase access to fresh fruits and vegetables, including starting a school garden and developing farmers markets that accept Florida’s Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, SNAP. 

You can find more information at the White House website. Congrats again Dr. Philips!
