What does that mean? • Likely a long time, if ever before another AMC/Tier 1 Research • Opportunity to start from scratch groundbreaking curriculum, diverse team, no bad habits or old ways of doing things • Medical School as change agent focus on measurably improving health in our community • Redefine the model of academic medicine changing the business model
