Cleveland’s new arena football team, The Cleveland Gladiators, has signed a contract with UH Corporate Health for the services of UH orthopaedic surgeons to provide physicals, orthopaedic care and training services to the team. The physicians will attend all Gladiator games and will also be available at the team’s practice facility as required.

Seven UH physicians have been designated as the Gladiator’s official orthopaedic surgeons. The group includes Donald Goodfellow, M.D.; William Saar D.O.; Mathew Levy, M.D.; Michael Retino, D.O.; Shana Miskovsky, M.D.; Scott Zimmer, M.D.; and Reuben Gobezie, M.D.

The federal government has recently selected the Ireland Cancer Center of University Hospitals Case Medical Center (UHCMC) to join an elite group of hospitals to rapidly evaluate and treat potential victims of radiological and chemical attacks. The Ireland Cancer Center is the only adult site in Ohio to be part of the Radiation Injury Treatment Network (RITN), created by the Federal Emergency Management Agency and the Department of Homeland Security.

The Ireland Cancer Center, selected for its expertise in stem cell transplantation and immune deficiencies, will be one of 52 centers across the country to respond to victims exposed to radiation or other bone marrow injuries. RITN, a joint project of the National Marrow Donor Program and the American Society for Blood and Marrow Transplantation, was formed so that when disasters strike these centers can triage and treat patients. Examples include attacks with chemical agents, nuclear devices or so-called dirty bombs.

The Clinical Research Scholars Program (CRSP) at Case Western Reserve University is currently accepting applications to the master of science degree curriculum described at http://casemed.case.edu/CRSP.

The primary aim of this NIH-associated endeavor is to develop a new generation of clinical investigators for leadership roles in academia and industry. The program combines formal didactic education with individualized research programs and includes mentoring by a member of the CRSP faculty and the scholar's research advisor.
