Last month, BWH held its inaugural Distinguished Clinician Recognition Ceremony, honoring 45 esteemed clinicians from across the hospital. The Distinguished Clinician title is bestowed on a select group of the hospital’s most accomplished physicians who carry forward the Brigham’s rich tradition of outstanding patient care.
“You give generously of your time and your spirit, and you invest in the physical, social and emotional well-being of our patients,” said BWHC President Betsy Nabel, MD. “Your accomplishments reflect what we consider to be truly at the heart of medicine: clinical excellence in concert with humanity, caring and concern.”
The inaugural recipients were selected based on their local, regional or national recognition as an outstanding clinician; an established reputation as a “physician’s physician,” the kind of clinician a colleague would choose for his or her family; and their exceptional contributions in education, scholarship, administration or community service.
After remarks by Chief Medical Officer Stanley Ashley, MD, and Nabel, the awards were presented to recipients by Robert Barbieri, MD, chair of the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Joseph Loscalzo, MD, PhD, chair of the Department of Medicine, and Martin Samuels, MD, chair of the Department of Neurology.
