Several Washington University School of Medicine faculty members recently were honored with Distinguished Faculty Awards for their dedication, talent and wide-ranging achievements.
The recipients were nominated by their peers to recognize achievements in clinical care, community service, research and teaching. They received the awards in a ceremony Feb. 17 at the Eric P. Newman Education Center on the Medical Campus.
This year’s winners of the Samuel R. Goldstein Leadership Awards in Medical Student Education also were honored at the event. The Goldstein awards recognize outstanding teaching and commitment to medical education. Recipients were selected by a committee of faculty members.
Jerry Naunheim Jr.“This was the first Distinguished Faculty Awards ceremony I’ve been involved in since becoming dean, and I feel very fortunate to be surrounded by so many dedicated and talented people,” said David H. Perlmutter, MD, executive vice chancellor for medical affairs and dean of the School of Medicine. “Recipients of the Distinguished Faculty Awards and Goldstein Leadership Awards have made profound contributions to the School of Medicine in patient care, education, research and community service, touching the personal and professional lives of so many people in so many ways. It’s an honor knowing and working with them and seeing what they bring to our academic community.”
