A message from Valerie Riddle, MD '89, Associate Dean for Alumni Engagement 

Hello fellow alumni! Here we are, a year since the pandemic began and life changed forever.  We are grateful this month for a video from USF Health Adolescent & Child Psychiatry fellowship alum and CEO and Medical Director of the National Center for Performance Health, Dr. Rahul Mehra. TUNE IN and learn about ‘emotional vaccines’, tips for self-care to combat what has been a most difficult year.  

As we look ahead, there is hope on the horizon! We are excited to celebrate MATCH DAY with the launch of ASSIST, a program to help connect you to our future MD and GME alumni.  In April, we will launch Beyond the BULLetin, a podcast of alumni and future alumni conversations and stories.                                                                                                                             

The Morsani College of Medicine Alumni Society Annual Meeting is coming in May – sign up to receive the link for this virtual meeting.  It’s a great way to meet Society leadership and learn how to get involved! 

And that just scratches the surface of all that we have to share in this month’s newsletter.  We hope you enjoy it and encourage you to let us know what you like, send us your ideas, and update us on your accomplishments and fun facts!
