Clinical Academic Environment
Support for the clinical academic environment created by Dartmouth Medical School and Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center sustains physicians who perform the invaluable multiple roles of care-provider, teacher, and researcher. Such physician researchers provide patients with an exceptionally well-informed approach to diagnosis and treatment, ensuring the latest discoveries and therapies reach patients quickly.
The Need
To invest $25 million in endowed clinical faculty teaching and research to preserve our capacity to teach medical students and residents and do vital research in the clinical setting. Clinical scholars, fellows, and others are essential in sustaining our leadership in such areas as pediatrics, orthopaedics, cardiology, and more.
