    My field covers everything. I must be a specialist in

    every specialty; I must be able to talk with all physicians

    on their own terms. I probably do more studying than

    anyone else in the world. Frank H. Netter, MD

    Frank H. NettersLife and WorkPerhaps no other physician has had a greater impact

    on medical education than Dr. Frank H. Netter. His more

    than 4,000 medical illustrations provide an unparalleled

    visual chronicle o a revolutionary period in modern

    medicine and continue to inspire and educate medicalstudents the world over.

    As a medical student, Netter drew visual

    representations o lecture notes that enabled

    him to understand and recall material. Afer

    graduation and a brie practice as a general

    surgeon, he traded his scalpel or a paintbrush

    and enjoyed a prolific career as a medical

    illustrator or pharmaceutical companies.

    With his exceedingly rare combination o artistictalent and perspective as a physician, Netter

    brought his subject matter to lie with stunning

    precision and clarity. He illustrated cutting-edge

    medical advancements ranging rom organ

    transplantation and joint replacement to the

    first artificial heart.

    The Ciba Collection o Medical Illustrations, a

    13-volume set o Netters work, earned a place

    in libraries and clinics across the country. In

    1989, he published his eponymous Atlas o

    Human Anatomy, which is widely used by

    medical students.

    Netters legacy transcends his lies work. A

    major gif rom Barbara and the late EdwardNetter, Frank Netters first cousin, pays tribute

    to Medicines Michelangelo in the naming o

    the Frank H. Netter MD School o Medicine at

    Quinnipiac University.

    I always tried to make [the person in the

    painting] look like a living patient, with

    the proper facial expression and so forth,

    to show that this is not a machine were

    dealing with.

    Frank H. Netter MD School of Medicin e

    at Quinnipiac University

    Interprofessional Educationand Team BuildingQuinnipiac is striving to become a national leader in team-based learning. The School o Medicine, the

    School o Health Sciences and the School o Nursing are collaborating to provide new and engaging

    interproessional opportunities or students. Through these collaborations, students will learn toidentiy effective and efficient health care delivery options, better understand the expertise o ellow

    health care practitioners and enhance each others clinical skills.

    Interproessional programs are incorporated throughout the School o Medicine curriculum. For

    example, in interdisciplinary courses on special topics offered during the first year o study, medical

    students learn the role o different health care proessionals as part o a patient-centered health care

    team. In other interdisciplinary events, students examine some o the challenging legal, economic and

    ethical issues associated with patient care in discussions with aculty and experts in those fields.

    As a component o the capstone curriculum electives, medical students may enroll in interproessional

    courses developed by the Schools o Business, Health Sciences, Law and Nursing, and the College

    o Arts and Sciences. Working with aculty and students rom other fields, medical students gain anunderstanding and respect or the expertise these proessionals bring to health care.

    The Center or Interproessional Healthcare Education at Quinnipiac provides guidance, resources

    and support or interproessional activities throughout the University and with our clinical partners.

    Research OpportunitiesThe School o Medicine provides opportunities or students to advance their knowledge o

    undamental research principles, engage in scientific inquiry and analysis, and become lielong

    learners. The University has created an environment that osters interactions among students

    and aculty mentors and encourages hands-on research.

    The newly established Institute or Primary Care, Institute or Rehabilitation Medicine and Institute

    or Global Public Health will support and encourage critical research, specifically in these fields.

    Quinnipiac plans to build its first University research building on the North Haven Campus. The

    acility will include open-concept research laboratories that are ideal or collaborative research

    projects, core acilities, instructional laboratories, a vivarium, seminar rooms and areas or inormal,

    interproessional interactions.

    Summer Research FellowshipDuring the first two years o the curriculum, medical students interested in research beyond their

    capstone projects are encouraged to participate in the Summer Research Fellowship Program. In

    this program, medical students and aculty members collaborate in ongoing basic, translational

    and clinical research with investigators at well-regarded institutions, such as the Cardiology

    Program and the Institute o Living Psychiatry Research Program, which are both part o the

    Hartord Healthcare Research Institute o Hartord Hospital. Thirty student spots are available

    or this 12-week program, which includes a speaker series and culminates with student research

    poster presentations. Students are encouraged to publish and present findings at regional or

    national scientific meetings.

    The caliber of faculty and staff

    Quinnipiac was able to recruit gives

    me confidence that there is going to be

    a lot of success happening here. The

    faculty and the student body seem very

    cooperative and cohesive. It seems like

    everyone here is on the same page

    and they all want us to do well.

    Primary CareTo address the escalating shortage o primary care physicians, Quinnipiac has established the

    Institute or Primary Care. The institute will encourage physicians to enter the field o primary

    care, which encompasses the ull breadth o patient services including disease prevention, health

    maintenance, and acute and chronic care or physical and mental illness. Through the institute,

    aculty and students can explore issues in primary care, the changing role o primary care in

    todays health care environment and participate in interproessional service projects.

    Rehabilitation MedicineQuinnipiac has established the Institute or Rehabilitation Medicine, in which interproessional

    teams will devote themselves to the study and practice o this area o medicine, with specific

    emphasis on providing services or wounded veterans.

    Plans are in place to collaborate with local health care acilities and organizations that work with

    veterans. In addition to the School o Medicine, this institute will involve occupational therapy

    and physical therapy aculty and students, as well as other health proessions, to address issues in

    rehabilitation. The institute will make use o the Universitys impressive advanced technology and

    equipment, including the Motion Analysis Lab. The collaborative work conducted at this institute

    will endeavor to not only improve the health and mobility o individuals in need o rehabilitation,

    but also improve their quality o lie.

    Global Public HealthThis interdisciplinary field o study enables students to understand and promote individual and

    population health in communities here and throughout the world. Global public and community

    health themes are integrated throughout the School o Medicine curriculum. Students may study

    the field in-depth by selecting it as a concentration or the Scholarly Reflection and Capstone

    Concentration course.

    The newly established Institute or Global Public Health will offer research opportunities, taking

    advantage o Quinnipiacs international resources and growing prominence abroad. The Albert

    Schweitzer Institute at Quinnipiac has offered service trips to Guatemala and Nicaragua or a

    decade and has built relationships with international organizations and influential leaders,

    including the Nobel Peace Laureate and ormer Costa Rican President Oscar Arias.

    The University is developing relationships with more universities and non-governmental organizations

    in Haiti, the Dominican Republic, Laos, the Philippines, Hungary, Lithuania and Ghana. Medical students

    may complete clinical, service and research rotations in mentored settings abroad, where they will gain

    exposure to a rich diversity o cultures, communities and health care rom around the world.
