"One Day, Three Women" (HTML) (PDF) 692 KB (Continued PDF) 88 KB A bioinformaticist juggles three kids and complex databases. A researcher edits a grant, advises a student, and has a bad reaction to a flu shot. A patient goes to work and then gets the 23rd of 33 radiation treatments. That's what happened on October 15, 2002, to three women who took part in a nationwide diary project.

"Form & Function" By Laura Stephenson Carter (HTML) (PDF) 424 KB (Continued PDF) 88 KB Combating cancer has always been a complex enterprise, requiring the efforts of clinicians and researchers from across many disciplines. Now, the work of Dartmouth's Cancer Center is truly coming together, in a new space designed to enhance multidisciplinary collaboration.

"Operation" By Roger P. Smith, Ph.D. (HTML) (PDF) 816 KB Having major surgery is no game, despite the advances made by modern medicine.

"Grave-Robber, Good Doctor" By Constance E. Putnam (HTML) (PDF) 496 KB In 1903, a young DMS graduate founded a hospital in Randolph, Vt. The story of John Gifford and Gifford Medical Center illustrates the depth and breadth of DMS's impact on the region.

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—the Fall issue in late September, Winter in late December, Spring in late March, and Summer in late June.
