Transforming Medicine Campaign
Fall was a celebratory season at DMS and DHMC, with two special events honoring some of those who are helping Dartmouth transform medicine—a reception for donors, whose generosity makes the institution's work possible, and a dinner for students, whose dedication leads the way into the future.
During the evening, three scholarship recipients—Irvin Sanchez '08; Heather Anderson '09; and Thomas Kesman, who is scheduled to graduate from Dartmouth's M.D.-M.B.A. program in 2006—shared with the guests their experiences at DMS and their post-medical school aspirations. Each also expressed gratitude to the donors whose gifts have made their medical studies possible.
"Scholarship funds are invaluable to our ability to attract dedicated and deserving doctors- to-be from all economic backgrounds, so they can experience the rigor and reward of the DMS educational experience," Dean Spielberg said at the evening's close.
"Whether you are a generous donor who established a scholarship fund, or one of the many outstanding students who have been awarded a scholarship," he concluded,"you are helping transform medicine at DMS and beyond."

Raising the bar
The financial goal of the Transforming
Medicine Campaign for
Dartmouth Medical School and
Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical
Center is to raise $250 million
by 2009. Even more far-reaching
is its goal of "raising the bar"
in medicine. Of questioning
assumptions—respecting tradition
but not following it blindly.
Of erasing boundaries—translating
science from the lab bench
to the bedside by connecting researchers
with clinicians. Of creating
solutions to the nation's
most critical health-care issues.
Of transforming medicine.
Anatomy of a goal
Gifts to the Transforming
Medicine Campaign are building endowment
reserves, enhancing
programs and services, supporting
learning and teaching in
clinical settings, advancing medical
education, and stimulating a
stronger annual giving program,
as well as advancing the work of
the Children's Hospital at Dartmouth
and Norris Cotton Cancer
Center. Here is a breakdown
of the $250-million goal:
- $98 million for clinical research programs and unrestricted support.
- $85 million for faculty and clinical academic endowment.
- $67 million to build and enhance research, academic, and patient-care facilities.
As of early December, the Transforming Medicine Campaign had raised $111 million in cash gifts and pledges—more than 44% of the total goal.
