Department of Family Medicine Newsletter

April 06, 2016

Peter Van Arsdale Lee, center, oversaw the creation of the new Department of Family Medicine in 1983, and became its inaugural chair after its separation from the Department of Family and Preventive Medicine.

The spring edition of the Department of Family Medicine newsletter is out. In this issue, we announce that we recently received a generous gift from Mrs. Judith D. Tamkin to fund a series of symposia on elder mistreatment. The first symposium, September 15 and 16, 2016, will address barriers to research. We are immensely grateful for Mrs. Tamkin’s generosity. We are also proud to announce the formation of a USC Center on Elder Mistreatment. The Center, to be co- led by the Keck School of Medicine and the Leonard Davis School of Gerontology, will serve as a leader and coordinating center of elder mistreatment research, education, practice and policy at USC.
