If he responds, I am going to do just that.  Good idea.

	Sounds like a good guy.  Wonder if there's any chance of him
coming CDER's way someday?  We should plant a seed!

	Matt,
	 
	I am thrilled to know that there is a new doctor who is an
advocate for health literacy.  I am curious to know how this came to be.
Were you an advocate before your internship?  Any thoughts on how to
expose new M.D.s to their health literacy deficits?  You are a jewel.
	 
	Marcia

		Colleagues,
		  This is the last week of my summer long internship
working with Health Literacy at the Jefferson County Health Department
in Missouri.  I just wanted to express my deepest gratitude for all you
participating on this discussion list.  This is truly a unique
opportunity for professionals from across the country to share ideas and
learn from each other, as I have definitely done.  Anytime I have had
questions or ideas, there was always an immediate and quality response,
answer, or evaluation.  As a pre-med student, I will definitely remember
the importance of HL in my practice, and will remain an advocate for it.
As I have told my coworkers, even though I will no longer be an intern
there, I am very interested in remaining up to date on the latest in HL
and watching as we progress toward improved communication and HL.  For
those of you who I have had an opportunity to discuss the new provider
education program we created, I will remain available to answer any
questions, provide materials, or continued support.  I wish you all the
best, and this list has truly been a great educational and professional
resource to me.
		 
		Best wishes,
		Matt
