All the reunion classes gathered in the Basic Medical Sciences Building on
Saturday, Sept. 17 for continuing medical education. Ellen Cosgrove, MD, gave

including an overview of the new BA/MD program. Robert Katz, MD, gave an update

The weekend culminated in a dinner for all reunion classes at the
