Biomedical research at medical schools and teaching hospitals helps boost the nation's economy, writes Debra Schwinn, M.D. (ELAM '99), dean of the Roy J. and Lucille A. Carver College of Medicine at the University of Iowa, in a Des Moines Register op-ed. "In addition to delaying new treatments for disease, our economy may suffer as well," Schwinn said. "Evidence shows that every dollar of NIH funding creates between $1.80 and $3.20 of new economic activity in the U.S., and it directly supports more than 400,000 jobs across the country."

Three ELUMs have been elected into the Institute of Medicine (IOM), which according to the IOM's website, is "considered one of the highest honors in the fields of health and medicine and recognizes individuals who have demonstrated outstanding professional achievement and commitment to service." They are:

Carol R. Bradford, M.D. (ELAM '09), Charles J. Krause, M.D. Collegiate Professor, and chair, department of otolaryngology-head and neck surgery, University of Michigan Health System
Nancy J. Brown, M.D. (ELAM '06), Hugh Jackson Morgan Professor of Medicine and Pharmacology, and chair and physician-in-chief, department of medicine, Vanderbilt University
