Lisa Phelps played four square on Friday night and paid absolutely no attention to the score, or even to the rules of
the playground game. She and her three other friends were just passing time during Florida State University’s 17th annual dance
marathon. Phelps, an 18-yearold FSU sophomore, was at the event with Alpha Chi Omega Sorority and said she
was confident she could keep her energy up throughout her 20-hour shift. Funds from the marathon are donated to Shands Hospital for Children in Gainesville, the Children’s Miracle Network and FSU’s College of Medicine.

PRESS RELEASE

The Council on Graduate Medical Education reports that fewer than 20 percent of all U.S. medical school graduates are choosing primary care specialties, but 55 percent of the 450 graduates of FSU's College of Medicine have gone into primary-care residency programs. FSU includes obstetrics-gynecology when it reports primary-care numbers, arguing that the battle to improve infant mortality in North Florida falls under primary care. 
Laura Davis is a third-year medical school student at Florida State University. She is, by all accounts, a poster child for the still-young College of Medicine and its particular mission to produce primary-care physicians working in under-served areas.
