Despite
Constraints, Health Center Hires
New Faculty in Selected Areas
The UConn Health Center's new
faculty continue a tradition of excellence in education, research,
and clinical skills begun by the very first faculty to come to
Farmington, according to top administrators at the Health
Center.
Dr. Peter Robinson, dean of the
School of Dental Medicine, said the new hires are necessary to
respond to fundamental needs. "We need to ensure we have all
the clinical teaching domains covered by the very best
faculty," he said, "and we need to assure we continue to
have our outstanding research enterprise grow."
Dr. Steven Strongwater, hospital
director and associate dean, clinical affairs, said, "Faculty
replacement has been done very selectively, because of the
difficult financial situation we are facing. The new faculty who
will be joining the Health Center have been carefully selected to
meet very specific needs in our signature programs - Cancer,
Cardiology, Musculoskeletal, Brain and Human Behavior, and
Connecticut Health; to meet market demand, such as in the
dermatology clinic; or to replace departing
faculty."
