|
 |
|
The UF College of Medicine recently launched the Orange and Blue Faculty Handbooks, two web-based, comprehensive collections of policies, procedures and information to provide faculty with an authoritative repository of college resources.
As a key initiative from the people pillar of the College of Medicine strategic plan, the Orange and Blue books were spearheaded by Mark S. Segal, M.D., Ph.D., and his team in response to feedback from college faculty. The books assemble previously dispersed materials into two all-inclusive, easily accessible guides equipping faculty to plan their professional development and enhancing the onboarding of new talent.

| Honoring veterans at the College of Medicine |
|
 |
|
One attribute shared by all members of the University of Florida College of Medicine community is a passion for helping others. Our learners, trainees, faculty, staff and alumni exhibit their commitment to service every day — a commitment shared by members of the United States Armed Forces.
From treating fellow soldiers for heat illness in the Florida summer to triaging 11 wounded after a deadly 4 a.m. helicopter crash, the experiences of the veteran members of our UF College of Medicine community have left a lasting impact on the high-quality, compassionate care they provide.
In honor of Veterans Day on Nov. 11, we recognize students, educators and alumni who have dedicated years of their lives to service in the armed forces.

| Department spotlight: Community service initiative brings neurosurgery faculty, staff, learners and trainees together |
|
 |
|
As part of a community service initiative launched by Brian Hoh, M.D., M.B.A., when he became chair in 2018, members of the Lillian S. Wells department of neurosurgery participate in a different project each month, from serving food to those experiencing homelessness and putting together care packages for military members to collecting school supplies for children in need and taking part in breast cancer awareness walks. The entire department is invited to join, from clinical and research faculty and staff to residents, fellows and students.
Hoh gave leadership of the initiative to neurosurgery associate professors Catherine Flores, Ph.D., and Maryam Rahman, M.D., M.S., and to date the department has assisted 32 organizations, including Ronald McDonald House, Grace Marketplace, Pace Center for Girls, Food4Kids Backpack Program of North Florida, Project Downtown Gainesville and Hoops for Hope.
