These have been our formulas for success, and we continue to rely upon them. We have broadened our students exposure to healthcare settings through expanded educational relationships with other healthcare institutions including opportunities within Jefferson Health System member institutions. We have expanded healthcare and academic programs and opportunities through numerous international collaborations, exchange programs and initiatives such as Jefferson s Global Advisory Board. We advanced and taught the new field of healthcare-delivery research, giving our students a heightened understanding of the social and industry aspects of their chosen field. Our commitment to recruiting the best clinician-academicians to chair our departments continues to pay off with recognized, quality programs.
Innovation is more important than ever to our vitality.
Jefferson has rapidly achieved a national leadership role in moving the results of academic research to the marketplace confirmed recently by its high survey rankings by the Association of University Technology Managers. But it is individuals who make these accomplishments a reality. People from every area and from all levels at the University create our successes. That s how the University makes change work for it by finding people and placing them where they will shine. And our experience shows that talent begets talent.
