On Thursday, November 21, we held an Innovations in Medical Education symposium to honor the career of Patricia Thomas, MD, FACP, Vice Dean for Medical Education and the Amasa Ford Professor of Geriatric Education. We had stellar speakers from outside the university, representation from all seven medical schools in Ohio and all of our affiliated hospitals, plus the basic sciences. Nearly every presenter acknowledged the tremendous innovation that Pat has catalyzed, and indicated their huge respect for her quiet leadership, her manner, her innovation, and her devotion both to scholarship and to the students. It was quite a day.
