As a specialist in pandemic flu preparations and disaster preparedness, Dr. Schmidt discusses how the virus is transmitted and explains the steps that can be taken to minimize the chances of being infected by the virus. Dr. Schmidt also explains the background of this new variant of the influenza virus, that is also referred to as H1 N1. |
|  | Leukemia: Breakthrough Research Projects Dr. Rob Stuart and Dr. Dan Fernandes have devoted years to understanding and treating patients with cancers of the blood. In this podcast, they discuss how several conversations led to major breakthroughs in research for chronic lymphocytic leukemia and acute myeloid leukemia. The Medical University of South Carolina’s Hollings Cancer Center has recently been designated a National Cancer Institute and it’s obvious that teamwork and collaboration from doctors played an integral part in this designation. |
|  | Hollings Cancer Center NCI Designation and Leadership Dr. Jerry Reves, the Dean of the College of Medicine and VP for Medical Affairs, talks about the leadership and teamwork required for the MUSC Hollings Cancer Center to become the 64th Cancer Center in the country to receive the National Cancer Institute Designation. The years of planning, research and hard work paid off when the NCI designation was announced in March 2009. NCI designation signals to patients and the public that our researchers and physicians bring the most current/cutting-edge treatments to patients in SC. |
