UMDNJ-School of Osteopathic Medicine Publications Win National Awards
STRATFORD - The UMDNJ-School of Osteopathic Medicine has won three national awards for publications produced by the medical school’s Marketing Department.
"The University Doctors MedicaLink," a free monthly health newsletter, won the Gold Award in the Newspaper Advertising/Insert category, and "The UMDNJ-School of Osteopathic Medicine 2007" won the Silver Award in the Calendar category during the 24th Annual Healthcare Advertising Awards competition, sponsored by Healthcare Marketing Report.
The Healthcare Advertising Awards are the nation’s oldest and largest healthcare advertising competition, with this year’s contest attracting nearly 4,300 entries from across the United States. "The University Doctors MedicaLink" also won the Best Newspaper award in a competition sponsored by the American Association of Colleges of Osteopathic Medicine (AACOM), the national organization that represents the administration, faculty and students of the nation’s 23 colleges of osteopathic medicine.
"These awards are a fitting tribute to the dedicated team of professionals who assist our physicians to reach out to improve the health, knowledge and overall well-being of the people who live in our surrounding communities," said Dr. Thomas Cavalieri, interim dean of the UMDNJ-School of Osteopathic Medicine.
