The van’s paint job said “Florida State University College of Medicine,” but the eight students who piled out at the Neighborhood Health Services clinic were law students. These law students are trailblazers in a new clinic at FSU College of Law’s Public Interest Law Center called the Medical Legal Partnership. “The idea is that you have lawyers and doctors and law students and med students having a meeting of the minds and working together collaboratively on their same patients and clients,” said program Director Wendy Adelson. “We are going to have grand rounds, where medical students will come to the class and where they will interact and discuss whatever joint problems their clients are facing.”

PRESS RELEASE

In 2009, according to the U.S. Census Bureau, there were 6.7 million grandparents acting as caregivers for children under age 18. Ashley Webb, who runs a program for this special demographic at the Tallahassee Senior Center, said that number is only growing. In 2000, one out of every 12 grandparents was acting as a primary caregiver to their grandchildren, she said. In 2010, that number had jumped to one in 10. Webb coordinates the Grandparents as Parents program, which meets monthly and offers support to grandparents in the form of health consultations, referrals to additional community resources and tips on how to be a new parent — again. Dr. Alice Pomidor, a professor in the Department of Geriatrics at Florida State University, emphasized the importance of a support system for grandparents raising a second set of children.

PRESS RELEASE

From its inception 124 years ago, Florida A&M University has made its mark producing significant numbers of graduates in fields such as business, allied health and pharmacy. Now, the university seeks to help reverse the lack of routine dental care available in Florida's poor rural and underserved communities by opening its own dental school. The proposal has gained the support of two critical health partners: Florida State's College of Medicine and Tallahassee Memorial HealthCare and its foundation. Dr. John Fogarty, dean of FSU's medical school, said the college could partner with FAMU in many ways: identifying minority students interested in dental careers, possibly sharing facilities, such as labs, and possibly offering its biomedical faculty to teach.

Almost every physician in the U.S. will face a malpractice claim during his or her career, according to a new study published in the New England Journal of Medicine. "It's a tremendous problem in terms of the psychology of physicians and medical practice," said Marshall Kapp, director of the Center for Innovative Collaboration in Medicine and Law at Florida State University College of Medicine in Tallahassee, Fla. "It's also an enormous burden in terms of the impact of how doctors relate to patients. It makes doctors more wary and less willing to engage patients as friends than as potential adversaries."

PRESS RELEASE

The proposed new internal medicine residency program at Tallahassee Memorial HealthCare cleared a major hurdle Wednesday. 
The federal body that funds residency programs nationwide, Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), announced that the program will receive funding for 39 slots. 
Plans to launch the internal medicine residency program, a joint effort between Florida State University's College of Medicine and TMH, were announced last August. It would be the second residency program in the area, with a family medicine residency already established at TMH.
