Faculty Awards
Established in 2020, the Faculty Awards were put in place to recognize the many contributions by our talented faculty clinicians.
Master Clinician AwardThe master clinician award honors individual(s) who embody one of the Department of Medicine’s three core missions: delivery of outstanding clinical care.
The master clinician award is presented yearly to a faculty member(s) who consistently demonstrates exceptional skill in clinical diagnosis, management and delivery of care. This individual(s) is routinely recognized as the “doctor to the doctors” and can be in the areas of general medicine, subspecialty care, in-patient care or ambulatory medicine. The award recipient(s) will be nominated by the full-time faculty within the Department of Medicine and will be recognized at the last Medical Grand Rounds of the fiscal year.
