Greetings, Medical Alumni!
The academic year is coming to a close, and the Alumni Relations Office is preparing for its most popular event: the School of Medicine Alumni and Medical Community Weekend, scheduled for June 2 through June 4, 2005.
During Alumni Weekend, we will honor the Class of 1955 and celebrate many class reunions (from1945 to 1995). We are excited to present the 7th Annual CME Conference, Pioneers and Progress ofMedicine in Utah, on June 4 at the Huntsman Cancer Institute. Since this is the 100-year anniversaryof the University of Utah School of Medicine as a two-year program, the Conference will highlight the history and successes of some of the programs at the School of Medicine. You can find informationabout the weekend on pages 4 and 5.
Mindful of our mission, which is to promote a life-long relationship between Alumni and the School of Medicine through communication, continuing medical education, and service to its members, Ieagerly look to the future. One factor that is helping us meet our goals more effectively is our moveinto the offices of Health Sciences Development in Research Park.
We will be hosting a Public Open House at the new offices on Friday, May 20, so please mark your calendars for a visit anytime between 3 p.m. and 6 p.m. And, please feel free to contact me at anytime. You can reach me online at [email protected], by phone at (801) 585-3818, or through the mail at Kristin Dean, School of Medicine Alumni Relations, 540 South Arapeen Drive,Suite 125, Salt Lake City, Utah 84108.

1980 This year the University of Utah School of Medicine is celebrating the centennial year of its birth. In 1905,
the University matriculated its first class of students in a two-year course of study dedicated to a medical degree.
Abraham Flexner, in his landmark report on medical education in America, gave the University of Utah his highest
marks. When he visited the school in 1909, the population of Salt Lake City was 64,464. There were 18 students and
16 faculty in the school with an annual budget of $10,000. Since that time the School of Medicine has built upon its
tradition of excellence from the two-year institution in 1905 to a four-year school in 1942 and to the internationally
renowned institution that exists today. From its small beginning the School of Medicine has grown to where it now has
411 medical students, 663 residents, 442 graduate students, 906 full-time faculty positions, 2,124 staff, and an
annual budget of approximately $450 million.
Looking back over the last 100 yearswe can identify great events, accom-plishments, and pioneers that havemade our School great and changedthe course of medicine throughoutthe world. Landmark events in organtransplantation, artificial organs,pharmacology, medical informatics,genetics, and cancer researchoccurred in our institution. Geneshave been discovered and cures devel-oped. Faculty named Wintrobe,Goodman, Samuels, Richards, Tyler,Ward, and others too numerous tolist shaped not only their studentsbut the character of American medi-cine. The school has moved from theclassrooms on President’s Circle tothe County Hospital, and eventually to the current location next to theUniversity Hospital. Through allof these moves the tradition of excel-lence has been nurtured and grown.During this coming year we will takeseveral opportunities to celebrate thesuccess of the past century.
A centennial committee, chaired byDr. James Parkin, Chair Emeritus of the Department of Surgery, isplanning activities that will highlightour history and accomplishments.We hope that all of our alumni,friends, and supporters will join us in these activities.
Perhaps the greatest product of ourSchool of Medicine is the legacy ofour alumni. Our graduates havemade great discoveries, advanced clini-cal knowledge, and most important
of all, have provided skilled medicalcare to countless patients in Utahand around the world.
Our current students learn fromthe legacy of their predecessors toprepare for the medical care of thefuture. Each year a new group ofover 100 physicians leave ourschool to make their own mark inthe world of medicine. They arebright, insightful, compassionate,and exceedingly well trained.I often wonder what the studentswho entered the School ofMedicine one hundred years agowould think about the studentswho are following in their footstepstoday. I am confident that theywould be astonished and proud.Our School of Medicine has thehighest quality students, outstand-ing faculty, and excellent staff thatproduce great physicians.
I am happy to report that our stu-dents will now be training in anenvironment that is one of the bestin the nation. This fall we will havethe first class of students who willstudy in the new Health SciencesEducation Building. Built with thesupport of the state and many ofour generous alumni, this buildingwill provide state of the art educa-tional resources for our studentsand faculty. The innovative designof the building was crafted by fac-ulty, staff, and students from all ofthe Health Sciences colleges. It has classrooms that allow innova-tive electronic instruction for largegroups and clinical teaching

facilities that foster the one-on-one teaching that is so important forlearning the art of medicine. It willlaunch the next generation of stu-dents well on their way to excitingand rewarding careers in medicine.
As I look back on the incredible success of the last century, I cannothelp but feel the tremendous poten-tial for the future. In these newfacilities we will be able to fostereven greater success of our students,our faculty, and our patients. In this era of exploding medical knowl-edge and ever-changing medicalpractice it is impossible to predictwhat our School of Medicine willlook like in the next century. I amconfident that, like our alumni ofthe distant and recent past, ourfuture alumni will look back on their School of Medicine with prideand gratitude for the contributionsof all those who built this outstand-ing institution.

As we commemorate the 100th-year anniversary of the two-year medical program at
the University of Utah, new educational opportunities await our medical students. The new Health Sciences
Education Building is moving toward completion. The Board of the Medical Alumni Association accepted
a challenge to name one of the 150 seat lecture halls, “Alumni Hall.” Thanks to all of those who have already
volunteered support for this project. We have raised $55,000 toward our goal of $75,000. If you have not
yet made a pledge, please consider donating to “Alumni Hall.” This facility will provide state-of-the-art
educational opportunities for our current students and permit the potential expansion of our medical student classes
to meet the growing need for new physicians in the intermountain region. Please join your colleagues and send your
pledge and/or contributions to support our “Alumni Hall” project.

The University of Utah and Intermountain
Health Care announced they will commit an
average of more than $3 million a year to the Utah
Medical Education Council (UMEC) to combat the
state’s looming physician shortage. The money will
fund 64 new physician residency positions each year.
The financial commitment of the U and IHC
underscores the urgency of the physician workforce
shortage, according to David J. Bjorkman, M.D.,
M.S.P.H., Dean of the University of Utah School
of Medicine and chair of the UMEC. “While this
funding will help significantly expand the state’s
physician training capacity, it is only a fraction of
what is needed to keep up with population growth
and the increasing demand for care,” said Bjorkman.
He was joined at the announcement by Greg
Schwitzer, M.D., vice president of IHC’s clinical
support services, and Michael K. Cahalan, M.D.
There are currently 663 physician-residents in 54
specialties receiving training at Utah hospitals.
Residencies last three to seven years and are only
partially funded by federal and state governments.
The country and the state are facing physician short-
ages in several specialty areas. Without expansion
of the training programs, Utah will face a severe
physician shortage by the year 2020. Bjorkman and
Schwitzer stated that an additional 200 physicians
are needed locally each year to offset the number
of retiring doctors and to care for Utah’s rapid
population growth and aging baby boomers.

More than 90 graduating medical school seniors and their families, anticipating where they will go for their
residency training, gathered on March 17, 2005, to open “Match Day” letters.
At the event, Robert O. Hoffman, M.D., Chair of Student Issues, welcomed the students to the School of
Medicine Alumni Relations Association. Also, Dr. Hoffman presented the seniors with a pin and bumper sticker
from the School of Medicine Alumni Relations Association.
The most popular residency programs, in order, were surgery, emergency medicine, pediatrics, and family
practice. Congratulations, graduates!

Sherman S. Coleman, M.D., founder and longtimechair of the Division of Orthopedic Surgery, diedFebruary 24, 2004 in Salt Lake City of cancer.Internationally recognized for his service to orthope-dics as a leader, teacher, and scholar, the 81-year old Utahn also was known for his compassionatepatient care.
The journal, Clinical Orthopedics and Related Research, noted in a 1989 tribute that “every honor that can be bestowed upon an American surgeon by his peers has been received by Sherman S. Coleman.” Among those was the first Sherman S. Coleman, M.D., HumanitarianAward, which he received from the Utah StateOrthopedic Society.
The U’s orthopedics residency program, which hedeveloped, has become one of the top five in thecountry. He was a recognized expert on treatingtumors and skeletal deformities, and his textbooks on treating congenital hip problems and foot deformities in children are considered classics.
