OK guys, this might not be huge news for many, but as a leukemia survivor, I am thrilled by what UT is doing. In 2006 I traveled to aurguably the #1 cancer center in the county MD Anderson in Houston. Their cancer center was exactly what UT is doing in regards to patient focus. I was able to fly in that morning and go to each area of treatment back to back to back one after another and be done in one day. UT has developed and implimented the same process which was a big deal for me. Getting the treatment alone sucks, but having it done quickly, convenient, on time and back to back made life easier for me. Great job UT. By the way, how many of our MAC peers have a medical campus?

Glad to hear you are doing well.

MAC medical schools:

Buffalo

CMU (starting next year, no hospital or medical campus)
WMU (starting 2014?, no hospital or medical campus)
UMass (medical school in a different city than main campus)
Akron,Kent and Youngstown State have an agreement and affiliation with Northeast Ohio Medical University (Rootstown) where their students receive preferred admission and share research.

Cancer sucks and yet another survivor. Every person that beats this bastard is my hero. Thanks for sharing good news.

Congratulations SPBR. Really happy for you.

In the future, kindly refer to the UTMC in the *standard* douchebag lexicon of "formerly the Medical College of Ohio" so those of us that give a rat's ass what anything USED TO BE CALLED can still remember 8 years after the change. Thank you so much for your attention to this vitally important distinction.

Congrats as well SPBR. Working in the oncology world now for quite some time. What UT is implimneting is certainly in line with many of the leading centers. Many have what is called patient navigators who schedule this "all-in-one-visit" approach. The cancer center at UT will be moving in Feb to what used to be the Dana Center. Anyway, another exciting potential development on the medical/science campus. FYI, Michigan has put in place a massive plan to upgrade their medical education...CMU, WMU and Oakland have or will have medical schools. Interesting to note that there are a number of Ohio med schools that do NOT have enough meaningful clinical rotations and actually ship their students to get the experience they need...OU comes to mind.

PS - OU ships their students to Toledo for their training in many instances.

Great resource for Toledo. i am blessed to have an Oncology center here in Fort Wayne right down the street from my house. Going through my 6 rounds of chemo and subsequent quarterly maintenance treatments for my non hodgkins Lymphoma is much easier when close to home. Tie One on for the Rocket Cancer Center

I don't know if it's still the case but OU school of Osteopathic Medicine used to be located in the old Parkview hospital. Hey, I guess we should refer to OU's medical school as, "formerly Parkview Hospital."

Hang in there guys...

On a side note UTMC has been my home away from home on account of multiple surgeries with hundreds of hours of occupational and physical therapy since a nasty industrial accident back in 1999... I consider myself lucky to still have partial use of my left arm...
