Tory releases jobs plan, wants medical school at York University

Posted on by

Toronto mayoral candidate John Tory unveiled his job-creation plan Thursday, vowing to create economic corridors in Etobicoke, Scarborough and North York including a pledge to bring a medical school to York University.

Mr. Tory, who released his plan in a speech to the Economic Club of Canada Thursday afternoon, said that some of the citys most pressing challenges transit and youth unemployment can be partly addressed by attracting businesses and new jobs to areas outside the downtown core.

As mayor, I will bring people to jobs. And where we can, I will bring jobs nearby the places where they live, he said.

One of the areas Mr. Tory said he would focus on is around York University in northwestern Toronto, where hed like to see a new medical school despite acknowledging that the decision would not fall within his jurisdiction. He said that the school will have a natural geographic connection with the Humber River Regional Hospital once the new subway is built, and the area between would become a high-tech magnet for new jobs and businesses.

As mayor, this is the kind of thing that excites me about this job. Im going to roll up my sleeves, and Im going to work hard to get Queens Park because its their decision to licence and fund a new medical school as part of York, he said. Thats why those relationships at Queens Park are so important.

York University has, for years, been lobbying the Ontario government for a medical school so far to no avail. Yorks president Mamdouh Shoukri has made it one of his top priorities, and in 2009, hired the University of Ottawas former dean of medicine to help put together a $150-million proposal.

The other areas of focus in Mr. Torys plan are Scarborough (along the area where the subway extension is currently planned), the Downsview area, and the east Don Lands.

But Mr. Torys rival candidates were skeptical.

David Soknacki expressed doubt over Mr. Torys ability to bring a medical school to York. Make no mistake Ill always support a strong education system as a citizen and as a mayor, Mr. Soknacki said in a statement. But there are already two levels of government that have the lead on delivering education in this province.

And Olivia Chow took issue with what she described as a lack of detail on how Mr. Tory plans to attract businesses to these economic corridors.

New dean calls med school a matter of priorities and return on investment

Barbara Atkinson

Barbara Atkinson has a bold vision for the first public, M.D.-granting medical school in Southern Nevada.

The new dean for the proposed UNLV School of Medicine comes to Las Vegas with a wealth of experience in the fields of medicine and medical education. Between 2002 and 2012, Atkinson, 71, was the executive vice chancellor and dean of the University of Kansas School of Medicine.

Like Nevada, Kansas faced a physician shortage. Under Atkinsons leadership, the University of Kansas Medical Center expanded campuses in Salina and Wichita, recruited renowned faculty and built new academic buildings at its main campus in Kansas City.

As UNLVs planning dean, Atkinson will be charged with bringing to life the communitys vision for a top-notch medical school that produces doctors who stay in Nevada and helps in Southern Nevadas economic diversification efforts. Atkinson says shes excited for the challenge.

This interview has been edited for clarity and brevity.

Nevada ranks 46th nationally in the number of doctors per capita (71.2 primary care physicians per 100,000 Nevadans). Some see a UNLV medical school as a solution. What do you think?

We realized early on when I was in Kansas that there was a major physician shortage, although not as major as in Las Vegas. Primary care in rural areas and sub-specialty programs were lacking. We decided to expand the number of medical students, not just in Kansas City, where we already had a major medical school, but to put more in Wichita and start a small campus in Salina. We increased the number of medical students statewide from about 175 per class to 220 per class. It clearly made a big impact in keeping physicians in Kansas.

UCF newlyweds get Pope's blessing

Posted on by

UCF medical school student Jenn Bazemore Fundora and her new husband, Chris Fundora, were already planning to go to Rome this spring, but the Orlando couple moved their trip up when they learned they could have a nuptial blessing from Pope Francis.

Three weeks ago, the two, who were married in December, joined nine other couples who came from around the world to the Vatican to receive a papal blessing. Dressed in wedding gowns and tuxedos, each couple spent a couple minutes with the pontiff.

"We were beyond excited," Bazemore Fundora said. "To have our marriage blessed by the Holy Father is something we'll share for years."

To receive a papal nuptial blessing, couples must apply to the Vatican, have been recently married in a Catholic church, present their certificate of sacramental marriage signed by their priest, and wear wedding attire.

The Fundoras and the other couples were ushered in front of St. Peter's Basilica to receive their personal blessings in private. Each newlywed received a white rosary blessed by Pope Francis.

Selfies weren't allowed, but the groom, also a UCF graduate, did get a hug. "I don't remember exactly what he [the Pope] said because we were very caught up in the moment," said Bazemore Fundora.

The event capped an eventful period for the bride, who besides getting married and blessed, was accepted to the pediatric residency program at Johns Hopkins Hospital, in Baltimore.

After Bazemore Fundora graduates from UCF College of Medicine next week, the couple will move from Orlando to Baltimore.

The Fundoras met while students at UCF. Bazemore Fundora graduated from UCF's Burnett School of Biomedical Sciences before entering medical school.

Her husband received his degree in management information systems in 2010 and works as a systems analyst.

A 28-year-old medical school student who had planned to auctioning off her virginity on the internet and had received a high bid of $801,000 now says she won't go ahead with her part of the bargain.

In a blog post today, the student, who goes buy the name 'Elizabeth Raine,' writes that she won't fulfill the terms of the auction as she wants to focus on her medical studies instead.

'With the blessings of my management and the high bidders, I have decided to put a stop to this kerfuffle (to describe it nicely) and return my focus to my medical training,' Raine wrote, according to Gawker. 'I still do possess some spitefully strong beliefs about virginity, prostitution, and a woman's right to do as she damned pleases, but school is my first priority (as it has been for my entire life).
