Renowned geriatrician, educator and health care leader John W. Rowe, MD, has been named the recipient of the University of New England College of Osteopathic Medicine 2013-14 Humanism in Aging Leadership Award. Dr. Rowe asked, “How are we going to re-engineer the core institutions of our society to deal with the demographic change we’re seeing in this country and the increased life expectancy?” He outlined and debunked eight myths of an aging society, and later warned that failure to address them could result in wider gaps in opportunity, education and wellness between the haves and have-nots, as well as a lack of capacity to meet societal demand for goods and services. The annual award recognizes a prominent geriatrician who exemplifies humanism and innovation in his or her approach to improving the lives of older adults. It was originally funded through the support of the Arnold P. Gold Foundation and is now supported through the UNE College of Osteopathic Medicine (UNECOM) Department of Geriatric Medicine. The award exemplifies one of the many ways the UNE medical school is committed to innovative educational opportunities for students of all disciplines in the respectful care of older adults

2013 College of Dental Medicine Whitecoat Ceremony - Inaugural Class of 2017 November 8, 2013

The White Coat Ceremony is a significant and meaningful tradition that symbolizes the students' commitment to the profession of pharmacy and the professionalism that is expected of students within the College of Pharmacy and in their eventual practice. As a student of pharmacy, professionalism means to practice with excellence and accountability, and to always act with respect, honor, and integrity. During the ceremony the students are asked to recite an oath in which they pledge their professionalism. The students will wear a white coat representing their commitment to clinical care and service.
