This past year was full of unforeseen challenges as Department of Medicine faculty, staff, and trainees navigated life during the COVID-19 pandemic. And while 2020 certainly put the department’s research, faculty development, and education teams to the test — the DOM family banded together to deliver exceptional work, including stellar patient care and crucial vaccine research. Our trainees also went above and beyond the call of duty to serve, learn, and grow.

We are immensely proud of the entire department’s efforts in 2020.

Take a look back at some of the many challenges, accomplishments, and honors of the past year, below.
