David Holznagel spent last year doing everything his first-year DMS classmates did in the lab and the classroom, while also taking these and hundreds of other photographs. A selection of them appears here.

Dartmouth Medicine seeks to convey the breadth and depth of the education, research, and patient-care activities of DMS and DHMC; to serve as a publication of historical record; to stimulate thought and discussion on issues in medicine and medical education; and to reflect the range of opinions and activities among Dartmouth medical students, faculty, and alumni. Among abbreviations used regularly in these pages are DMS (Dartmouth Medical School), DHMC (Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center), MHMH (Mary Hitchcock Memorial Hospital), DC (Dartmouth College), and HS (housestaff). The opinions of contributors do not necessarily reflect those of DMS or DHMC.

Dartmouth Medicine is published four times a year-in Fall (September), Winter (December), Spring (March), and Summer (June). It is produced using a Macintosh G4 and Quark XPress 4.11.
