With immense pleasure and pride, I extend my warmest welcome to all of you. As the Chair of the Clinical Department at the UCI School of Medicine, I am honored to have the opportunity to introduce you to our dynamic and exceptional community.

Our mission is to empower the next generation of healthcare professionals, drive advancements in medical science and provide exceptional care to our patients. With a steadfast commitment to excellence in education, cutting-edge research and patient care, we stand at the forefront of healthcare innovation.

Our clinical department is not just a department; it's a commitment, a dedication, and a driving force that strives to push the boundaries of healthcare excellence. We are at the forefront of education, groundbreaking research and innovations in patient care, and we are resolute in our mission to empower the next generation of healthcare professionals.

The heart of our vision lies in the unwavering commitment to excellence, not just as a standard but as a way of life. We believe that exceptional care is not a choice but an obligation. It's about equipping healthcare professionals with knowledge and skills and, most importantly, the compassion required to make a profound and lasting impact on the lives of our patients.

We aim to drive innovative solutions that don't just follow existing paths but create new ones. We foster a culture of empathy because we recognize that there is a person in need behind every medical condition. We are dedicated to maintaining the highest standards of clinical practice because we understand that our patients deserve nothing less.

I encourage you to actively engage in our department's endeavors, share your insights, collaborate with your colleagues, and be the change you wish to see in healthcare. We are not just opening doors but building bridges to a brighter and healthier future.
