University of Maryland School of Medicine names Pittsburg medical professor as new dean

Dr. Mark T. Gladwin was named as the next dean of the University of Maryland School of Medicine after a national search to replace Dr. E. Albert Reece, who announced last year he would step down after 16 years of leading the medical school. Gladwin is a heart, vascular and lung physician and scientist, and currently serves as a professor and chair of the department of medicine at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine.
