Appointment of Dr. Jenrette announced June 2005 On behalf of the MUSC College of Medicine, I am very pleased to announce the appointment of Dr. Joseph Jenrette as chairman of the Department of Radiation Oncology. Dr. Jenrette is a highly respected MUSC alumnus whose career with the university spans more than three decades. During those years, his outstanding service was instrumental in the development of the department as well as the medical center’s acquisition of many new radiation therapy technologies used in the treatment of cancer. He is not only an excellent academician and clinician, he demonstrated his administrative abilities on two separate occasions serving as the department’s interim chairman. He fostered close relationships with radiation oncologists and other physicians throughout the state, and led development of collaborative facilities between the Hollings Cancer Center with Georgetown and East Cooper hospitals.  Throughout his tenure, his dedication to MUSC has gone well beyond typical faculty responsibilities. He chaired the university’s cancer committee since 1983, and he served in a variety of leadership positions that helped launch the Hollings Cancer Center and continue to build its clinical, research and academic reputation. He provides editorial services to some of the leading professional journals in his field, and his research teams contributed more than 100 publications and invited presentations on research topics ranging from cutting-edge clinical techniques to guidelines for standard practices. He has received numerous awards for clinical and academic excellence, including repeated listings in “The Best Doctors in America.” Please join me in congratulating Dr. Jenrette on his challenging new appointment.
