PRESS RELEASE Florida State University's new medical school dean envisions a future where patients correspond with their doctors by e-mail - even in rural Florida. And those same doctors, says Dr. Joseph Scherger, will be able to tap into the most up-to-date research to treat their patients, thanks to information provided by FSU's medical school via video feed or the Internet. "Patients deserve the best care no matter who they go to, even in the small towns in the Panhandle," said Scherger, who was chosen to lead the school Tuesday. Scherger's appointment by Provost Larry Abele is the result of a national search that took several months. He begins work July 1.
