Welcome to our first issue of eCV.  As the name suggests (sort of), eCV is an electronic complement to our CenterView newsletter, which Public Affairs has published since 2009.  eCV will appear in your UMMC email inbox every Monday and Thursday morning, replacing our THIS WEEK e-newsletter.  Like CenterView, eCV will present some longer stories about interesting people and programs of the Medical Center.  But it will still carry some of those items that our readers have become accustomed to, like service anniversaries, new faculty bios and a preview of coming events.

During one of the most competitive times to access funding from one of the nation’s largest research sponsors, the University of Mississippi Medical Center has received more awards and more money than the previous year.

Michelle Welander, a long-time nurse and leader at the University of Mississippi Medical Center, has been named chief nursing and clinical services officer of Batson Children’s Hospital and its statewide network of clinics, Children’s of Mississippi.

A number of interesting events are scheduled for the upcoming week at the Medical Center.

The Medical Center is proud to acknowledge those employees who will celebrate service anniversaries this week:
