As a UAG graduate, I have had the opportunity to experience a wonderful and impactful career. During my time in Guadalajara in the 70s, I learned a new language and had the opportunity to experience a new culture while having an incredible time. UAG gave me the necessary tools to become the physician I am today. I am forever grateful to UAG for showing me the importance of serving my community.
My most meaningful memory was meeting and interacting with fellow Mexican students as well as my "Guardias"; experiencing life in the Mexican countryside in Jalisco and elsewhere including the cities, towns, and villages. For a young man from Massachusetts, it was a tremendous learning and maturing time in my life. I loved going back to witness how the school has grown.
I was invited to be a visiting professor at UAG in 2003 and had a wonderful experience. I revisited the campus and gave a series of lectures over a week while having the opportunity to see how the school has evolved over the years.
As an Oncologist and Palliative Care specialist, I was Director of Supportive Oncology for the Northwell Cancer Program/Institute for 23 years until my retirement in 2020.
I came out of retirement in 2022 to lead a new program called the Clinical Research Alliance which strives to offer state-of-the-art interventional clinical cancer and supportive trials to underserved and culturally diverse community-based oncology practices in New York that previously had not had this opportunity.
As part of its 90th anniversary, UAG hosted “The Experience By UAG,” where International Program medical students showcased faculty-mentored academic projects and a TED-style talk, highlighting innovation, creativity, and the university’s commitment to world-class medical education.
UAG School of Medicine held a three-day Leadership & Faculty Development Retreat that united academic leaders and faculty to strengthen collaboration, drive curricular innovation, and align on the future of medical education.
UAG School of Medicine welcomed renowned medical educator Dr. Neil Osheroff for a three-day visit that fostered academic collaboration, faculty development, and innovative approaches to advancing medical education.
