The Catherine and Ladislav P. Hinterbuchner Endowed Chair in Rehabilitation Medicine Dedication Ceremony Is Set for August 10
 To commemorate the inaugural Catherine and Ladislav P. Hinterbuchner Endowed Chair in Rehabilitation Medicine at NYC Health + Hospitals/Metropolitan, a dedication ceremony and special lecture will be held on Thursday, August 10, at noon at NYC Health + Hospitals/Metropolitan in the Dr. Richard K. Stone Conference Room. Eduardo Lopez, M.D., the Catherine and Ladislav P. Hinterbuchner Endowed Chair in Rehabilitation Medicine, will present "Primary Prevention of Brain Injury." He will explore the role of health care providers as advocates that is essential to educate the public on the value of primary prevention and recognize the benefits of injury control through legislation, enforcement and technological advancement. Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) is referred to as a silent epidemic. Accidental injury secondary to motor vehicle accidents, falls, violence and sports injuries is the fifth leading cause of death overall in the United States. The event will also feature speakers, Alina Moran, M.P.A., chief executive officer, NYC Health + Hospitals/Metropolitan, and Edward C. Halperin, M.D., M.A., chancellor and chief executive officer, NYMC.
A gift of $3 million to New York Medical College by the estate of Catherine Hinterbuchner, M.D., has endowed the professorship and chair in the Department of Rehabilitation Medicine at NYC Health + Hospitals/Metropolitan to support teaching and training of medical students and residents and to foster research. Dr. Hinterbuchner, a physician who served as chair of NYMC's Department of Rehabilitation Medicine from 1971 to 2004 and earned emeritus status in 2005, passed away in 2015 at the age of 88. The endowed chair is named after her and her late husband. Please click here to RSVP for the dedication ceremony.

Touro Scholar Offers Online Archive Designed to Showcase Scholarship
 The Health Sciences Library at NYMC, in collaboration with Touro Libraries, now offers an institutional repository, Touro Scholar. Touro Scholar is an online archive of scholarship produced by all Touro College and University System institutions. The system is designed to disseminate and preserve intellectual output, and support individual researchers in maintaining their scholarly legacy.
Touro Scholar archives content with a permanent, searchable URL that is indexed by search engines such as Google Scholar, an important goal for researchers and for NYMC. Increasingly, funders mandate that institutions and faculty provide open access to their research. Researchers who post their work to Touro Scholar maintain the copyright; NYMC does not assume any rights to the content.
Since it launched in November 2016, the NYMC repository on Touro Scholar has archived 370 items including journal articles, abstracts, posters and archival photographs. These items have been downloaded by researchers around the world. Touro Scholar offers researchers the ability to monitor when and where content is accessed. Visit the NYMC Touro Scholar page here and view the year-to-date downloads of NYMC's scholarly work.
Jovy-anne O'Grady, scholarly communications librarian, said Touro Scholar allows NYMC researchers to "share their work, collaborate on a wider scale, and ultimately raise the prestige of the College." Open access articles have been shown to be cited more frequently than those not freely available.
Individuals or teams interested in uploading their work to Touro Scholar may contact Ms. O'Grady at jogrady@nymc.edu or (914) 594-4205 to schedule in-person information and training sessions.

Touro College of Dental Medicine at New York Medical College Welcomes the Class of 2021
 The newest cohort of dental students -- the Touro College of Dental Medicine (TCDM) Class of 2021 -- began a new, exciting chapter in their lives during orientation week. They hail from as far away as Mississippi and as close as New Jersey. Among the many activities packed into three busy days, the dental school's second class of students met the School's founders and faculty, reviewed schedules and software, picked up their scrubs, were fitted for dental loupes in the simulation lab, got a taste of campus life, and managed to fit in a trip to New York City and a hike at Rockefeller State Preserve.

Felipe C. Cabello, M.D., professor of microbiology and immunology and associate professor of medicine, gave an invited presentation in June at the Chilean National Academy of Sciences (of which he is a Foreign Member) on his work on the human health impacts of antimicrobial use in aquaculture. Dr. Cabello also participated in a panel discussion on antimicrobial resistance and aquaculture organized by the Environmental Health subcommittee of the Chilean Senate, and gave two lectures on the same topic in conjunction with an International Course on Infectious Diseases and Antimicrobial Therapy at the University of La Frontera in Temuco, Chile. In addition, Dr. Cabello lectured at Austral University in Valdivia and Pto. Montt, Chile, and the University of Los Lagos in Ancud and Castro in the Chilean Patagonia. In these talks, Dr. Cabello presented unpublished and published results of field and laboratory work done by him and his collaborators (Drs. A. Tomova, L. Ivanova, A. H. Buschmann, H. K. Dölz, and H. P. Godfrey) to ascertain the impact of antimicrobial use in aquaculture on antimicrobial resistance in the aquatic environment and on the potential transfer of this resistance to animal and human pathogens.
