To celebrate this milestone, MCOM is planning a year鈥檚 worth of events and highlighting key moments of the medical school鈥檚 history.
Among the plans are a clay shooting competition, taking place Jan. 25, and a golf tournament, scheduled for April 23. And wrapping up the year will be a gala in October 2024. These events are being sponsored by MCOM鈥檚 long-standing clinical partner and primary teaching affiliate Tampa General Hospital.
The MCOM 50th Anniversary celebration is being coordinated through the 新澳门六合彩内幕信息Health Office of Development, led by Arty Giallourakis, chief development officer and associate vice president for 新澳门六合彩内幕信息Health Development and Alumni Relations.
