N E W    D O M    W E B S I T E : A new DoM website has been created by Health Sciences Academic Services and
        Facilities. One of the new features is that the directory links to faculty biographies on the division pages. UW Medicine
        has begun to develop a system of uniform biography pages for clinicians, aimed primarily at the patient audience.
        Examples can be seen at http://www.uwmedicine.org/PatientCare/LOC/RHC/bios/ . Future plans include adding
        research faculty. Biosketches will be updated automatically by UW Medicine, using its databases, and faculty members
        can update their own bios at any time.
