The sudden passing of Dean John M. Daly, '73, MD, FACS, is shocking and heartbreaking for our LKSOM community. Dr. Daly's remarkable career as a two-time dean of our medical school, a master surgeon, educator, and leader has had a profound impact on all of us – and the many lives he touched through the years. We are all deeply saddened by his loss.

The Lewis Katz School of Medicine once again honored its generous donors at the Annual Celebration of Scholarship on March 11, 2021. Opening the online program, Nina Weisbord, Chief Advancement Officer, remarked, “Your ongoing dedication to the talented and passionate students who embody the future of medicine is truly inspiring, and we hope you can feel our gratitude coming through your screens.”

Match Day is typically steeped in anticipation. It’s the moment when all fourth-year medical students across the country and around the world learn where they’re going to do their residency. The 2021 Main Residency Match was the largest in the National Resident Matching Program’s (NRMP) history. A record-high 48,700 applicants – an increase of 8.3 percent over 2020, and the largest single-year increase to date – submitted program choices for 38,106 positions, the most ever offered in the Match.
