We are happy to present the inaugural issue of Code Blue and Gold, the Department of Medicine’s quarterly newsletter. Highlighting the DOM’s many accomplishments in patient care, research, and education, Code Blue and Gold also enables the entire DOM Community to feel connected across all our divisions and institutes and to experience firsthand how we–faculty, trainees, and staff–are greater than the sum of our parts.
With deepest gratitude,
