SMHS is embarking on a strategic planning process, with the GW MFA, that will guide the combined goals of the SMHS/GW MFA for the first several years of the post-pandemic academic medical enterprise. 

A recent study by GW physicians on the severity of acute respiratory viral adverse events related to antirheumatic disease therapies found that some therapies may be associated with increased respiratory viral events while others don’t show increased frequency. 

When it comes to protecting health care workers, it’s not just personal protective equipment that’s needed but also emotional protections, according to an editorial co-authored by faculty members at the SMHS and published in the Annals of Emergency Medicine.

Congratulations to Louisa Howard, fourth-year MD student at the George Washington University (GW) School of Medicine and Health Sciences, for being selected as a 2020 Pisacano Scholar.

Congratulations to all the graduates in the Class of 2020 Doctoral Program in Physical Therapy on successfully passing the National Physical Therapy Licensing Examination.

The COVID-19 pandemic, the health impacts of racism, and further recognition of the role environmental and social inequities play in determining a person’s health are just a few of the important public and population health issues that confront our communities, institutions, and patients. 

Four young researchers at the GW School of Medicine and Health Sciences were selected as fellows to the recently awarded five-year National Cancer Institute T32 Training Grant.

The George Washington University (GW) Medical Faculty Associates’ Department of Orthopaedic Surgery will be opening for orthopaedic specialty care walk-in services for GW employees and their families.
