The decision to go into medicine should not be made lightly, given the years of training and the financial burden involved. Yet how do premeds find out if medicine is really what they envision it to be? Dartmouth undergrads are getting a better view of the profession than ever, thanks to the DMS faculty. |

Dartmouth otolaryngologist Dudley Weider was hoping to get to the summit of Denali in June of 1998. Instead, he was drawn into a series of dramatic rescues detailed in the story starting on page 20. The cover photograph, of two fellow climbers negotiating the summit ridge, is by Scott Darsney of Mountainworld Images (scott@mtnworld.com). |

Palliative care—the care of
patients for whom curative
treatment is no longer an
option—is receiving increased
attention nationwide,
including at DHMC.
Vital Signs 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 G3 and Quark XPress 4.04.
We are happy to send Dartmouth Medicine—on a complimentary basis —to anyone who is interested in the subjects that are covered in the magazine. Write us if you'd like to be added to our rolls. We regret, however, that the complimentary subscription offer can be extended only to addresses within North America.
Because our mailing list comes from eight separate databases, some readers may receive duplicate copies. Please share extra copies with someone else, or send us the address panels from all the copies you receive and we will be glad to eliminate the duplication.
