Faculty from DFPM's divisions were honored in a special awards dinner in early November, gathering at the University Guest House to celebrate milestones and achievements from the past three years.
"It was wonderful to see so many of you in-person and to celebrate the great achievements you have attained over the last few years," said Department Chair Kola Okuyemi, MD, MPH, of the event.
