Past and present members of the U’s Internal Medicine program have come together to create the Society Supporting Leadership in Internal Medicine, a group that will raise money for and encourage faculty research in the department.
The group held a dinner last month to celebrate the launch of SSLIM and a recent $1-million donation to the department from Charles and Margaret Nugent.
SSLIM is made up of both former and practicing doctors and “was created to serve as an umbrella organization for the Department of Internal Medicine,” said Donald Dunn, the department’s director of development.
