Retired Air Force Major Robert H. Parent leads graduates in the oath of office aboard the USS Wisconsin.

Five medical school graduates bound for military service were in dress uniform Thursday on the fantail of the USS Wisconsin for the annual EVMS Military Commissioning Ceremony.

 

Family and friends were on hand in the shadow of the ship's massive 16-inch guns to applaud the graduates and to help pin on symbols of their military rank.

 

Keynote speaker James J. Fletcher, DPM, MD, a 2003 EVMS graduate, recounted memories of his own commissioning ceremony aboard the ship and reminded them of the gravity of their commitment.

 

"It is already a noble thing to be a physician. You have also chosen another noble field. You have chosen to serve your country," he said. "You have dedicated yourself to taking care of those who protect our country. They believe in you to take care of them, they trust in you to take care of their families while they're gone. They trust in you that you will be there for them and that you will give best."

Hospitals make dramatic improvements in heart attack care

Posted on by

Major heart attack patients are getting faster treatment at hospitals, according to a new study Dr. John Brushpublished this week by the American Heart Association. That’s thanks in part to John E. Brush Jr., MD, cardiologist and EVMS assistant professor of clinical internal medicine. Brush played a leading role in designing the American College of Cardiology campaign that encourages hospitals to adopt key strategies that help speed care for major heart attack patients. The ACC campaign was one of several sited as contributing to the improvement in heart attack patient care.

 

The study reports that hospitals across the country are treating nearly all patients in need of angioplasty within the recommended 90 minutes of hospital arrival. Five years ago less than half of patients were treated so quickly. Read more about the study and dramatic improvement in heart attack care.

EVMS researchers help develop first-of-its-kind cancer treatment

Posted on by

Researchers at Eastern Virginia Medical School played a key role in bringing to market the first-ever prostate cancer vaccine. Paul F. Schellhammer, MD

 

Provenge, as the vaccine is called, was developed by Seattle-based Dendreon Corporation. It received approval this week from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for use as a treatment against advanced prostate cancer. Provenge works by recruiting the body's immune system as a weapon against cancer cells. It is easier on the body than traditional treatments such as chemotherapy, and researchers hope the approach may one day be used for other cancers.

 

Specialists in urological cancer at EVMS, led by Paul F. Schellhammer, MD, professor of urology, tested the treatment before its federal approval and established that it can safely extend the lives of men with advanced prostate cancer. Dr. Schellhammer has been involved in studying the vaccine since the ‘90s. About three dozen local patients were involved in the trials.
