TUCSON, Ariz. – For a group of high school students from rural Arizona, the summer of 1969 wasn’t memorable for man’s first walk on the moon or the trek of nearly half a million people to Woodstock, N.Y., for a music festival. They remember that summer as the time they began a journey to careers that would change their lives and the lives of others.
A chance meeting nearly 20 years ago sparked a dream between two men.
Following an extensive national search, Michael M.I. Abecassis, MD, MBA, has been appointed dean of the University of Arizona College of Medicine – Tucson. His appointment begins early November 2019, as he becomes the ninth dean of the college since its founding in 1967.
