Dr. Renee Hsia, Professor of Emergency Medicine, has been elected to membership in the American Society for Clinical Investigation, the first Emergency Medicine specialist in the nation to be elected as an ASCI member.The ASCI is dedicated to the advancement of research that extends the understanding and improves the treatment of human diseases, and members are committed to mentoring future generations of physician-scientists. Membership is by election only, and the ASCI considers the nominations of several hundred physician-scientists submitted from among its members each year. Only researchers who are 50 years of age or younger are eligible for nomination to the Society. Therefore, membership in the ASCI is a recognition of a researcher's significant contributions, at a relatively young age, to the understanding of human disease.
