The Scope - April 2026
As I settle into my roles as interim Dean of the Medical School and interim Executive Vice President for Health Affairs, I want to express my sincere gratitude for your incredibly warm welcome.
Over the past several weeks, I have prioritized listening and learning. From the energy of my first UMN Match Day to advocating for our mission at the State Capitol, I am deeply impressed by the dedication you bring to our land-grant mission. Our work is a vital promise to the people of Minnesota, and it is a privilege to see you deliver on that promise daily through research, clinical care, and education.
I look forward to continuing these conversations during my upcoming visits to our Duluth and St. Cloud campuses. As you read this edition of The Scope, I hope you take a moment to reflect on the milestones we are achieving together. These stories are a testament to our shared commitment to excellence and equity, providing a strong foundation for our future.
Thank you for your partnership and your honesty during this transition. I look forward to everything we will achieve in the months to come.
With appreciation,
Carol Bradford, MD, MS, FACS
Interim Dean of the Medical School
Interim Executive Vice President for Health Affairs
