"Creating Connections"
(HTML)
(PDF) The fast pace of American medical education means that students interact with patients in an episodic fashion. Rarely do doctors-to-be see a given patient more than once. But a new Dartmouth Medical School program is changing that, giving students a chance to bond with a single patient and to truly appreciate the impact that illness can have on individuals and their families. | |||

"The Heart of an Olympian"
(HTML)
(PDF) When a former Olympic biathlete had cardiac surgery at Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center, he learned some facts about a part of his anatomy that he'd taken for granted—and even some lessons about determination, or "heart" in its figurative sense. | |||

"Sugar is Sweet"
(HTML)
(PDF) And so is the synergy among Dartmouth engineers, physicians, and biomedical scientists. A recent collaboration has spawned a promising commercial venture—growing therapeutic proteins in yeast. Thanks to a novel way of getting sugar molecules placed on the proteins, the process may revolutionize the way drugs are produced. |

Dartmouth Medicine seeks to convey the breadth and depth of the education, research, and clinical 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—the Fall issue in late September, Winter in late December, Spring in late March, and Summer in late June.
