A Closer Look At The Past Four Decades

This year marks the 40th anniversary of the University of South Alabama College of Medicine. As part of the celebration, the school recently published a special edition of USA Medicine magazine that includes six sections – Trailblazers, Founders, Pioneers, Builders, Innovators and Architects - describing distinct periods of development in the College of Medicine’s history.

According to Dr. Samuel J. Strada, dean of the USA College of Medicine, the medical school has been an essential part of the University during the past four decades of USA’s 50-year history.

“Many students, faculty members, departmental chairs and administrative officials have contributed during our history to a school of medicine that focuses on quality, not quantity, the value of individual growth and development that can lead to a stronger University and community,” said Dr. Strada.

To request a copy of the magazine email ptaylor@southalabama.edu. An electronic version of the magazine is available here.
