DoM Clinical Excellence Awards
Initiated in 2017, the Department of Medicine Clinical Excellence Awards will honor and recognize physicians that have and continue to make major contributions to the direct provision of excellent patient care. The Clinical Excellence Awards do not depend upon concomitant excellence in education or research; they recognize doctors we would “like to have treat our loved ones.” The recipients demonstrate dedication to clinical medicine, excellence in their craft, compassion, availability, and the highest standards of the profession.
