I hope my tenure as your dean is noted for transparency and communication. In addition to being available to you, I commit to regular communication to you about my work and the work of the medical school. In my tenue at USask’s College of Medicine, we had a blog (USask), and it proved to be an effective way to connect to the community.

My UPEI blog entitled “Preston’s Page” page can be found here Preston's Page.

We are off! As I have said, I am very excited to become your dean and am grateful for the confidence you have placed in me. I believe we can accomplish great things together as committed learners, researchers, faculty, staff and partners at the University of Prince Edward Island’s Faculty of Medicine.

Sincerely,

Preston Smith, MD, MEd, CCFP, FCFP
