 We
are pleased to welcome our alumni and
all other visitors to this specially
designed site within the PSM webpage,
which site is intended to be the formal
connection between Ponce School of
Medicine and Health Sciences (PSMHS) and
its alumni. Via this site you will be
able to access the PSMHS newsletter and
stay current on the varying, often
extraordinary, accomplishments of our
students, faculty, staff, administration
and—of course, alumni. You will also
find links to the alumni office, where
you can get information on how to
communicate with your classmates. And,
yes, we are asking you to contribute to
the scholarship fund as well as to a
series of projects that are aimed at
enhancing our (your!) institution. As
might be expected, your beneficence will
help finance the continuous improving of
our academic offerings; but in addition,
what we receive will go to deserving
students in the form of scholarships,
enabling these students to enjoy the
high quality education offered by PSMHS.
You will also find a link where you can
make your contribution to the annual
fund and while you’re here, you may want
to buy a memento from our online shop.
Our alumni—you—have made significant
contributions to the health and
wellbeing of our community, as well as
to the advancement of science, on both a
local and a national level. As a result,
PSMHS ranks number nine among all
medical schools in the United States
based on the fulfillment of its social
mission[1]. Our pride at your many and
varied achievements cannot be adequately
expressed. What can be expressed is our
fervent hope that, while you are setting
the world on fire, you will remember
your alma mater and make it possible for
others to join you in your
world-changing exploits.
With all my respect and gratitude,
Olga Rodriguez de Arzola, MD, FAAP
Interim President and Dean

 Ponce
School of Medicine successfully
celebrated its 30th Anniversary last
year and the Board of Trustees had
various opportunities to witness the
loyalty and dedication of the alumni
with which it shared the enthusiasm
usually found in events of this nature.
It is certainly encouraging to recognize
that so many of our graduates feel it is
part of their responsibility to aid in
and oversee the strengthening of the
academic, research and physical
infrastructure of our institution, so
that our academic profile, standing, and
public image will persevere in these
demanding and unique times in the field
of health services education.
The Board of Trustees is well aware of
the challenging environment in which a
school our size and with limited
resources must follow through in order
to fulfill our mission and purpose. We
will certainly welcome whatever economic
aid, educational suggestions, and even
criticism, which you may feel will be in
the best interests of our school. Thank
you for keeping in touch.
Arturo
Valdejully
President Board of Trustees
