A Welcome from the Dean

They are our inspiration.

The people who share their stories, their accomplishments, their dreams, and their challenges in VITALSIGNS also share a common experience: in some way they have touched the Indiana University School of Medicine.

We are grateful that they are willing to share their stories with you, because in every case, the School benefits from their experiences. We are fortunate to have such outstanding students, faculty, alumni, colleagues, and friends. The charm of their lives does rub off on us; professionally and personally.
