Tenth Annual Physician of the Year Awards

For over ten years, I have been a member of the Castle Connolly Medical Ltd. medical advisory board. For the last ten years, the board has helped Castle Connolly select top physicians from nominations submitted by physicians and medical leaders from across the country for rewards for excellence. The awards include three Clinical Excellence Awards and two Life Achievement Awards. These various Awards are the equivalent of Hollywood’s Academy Awards. The Awards will be presented on March 23, 2015 in New York City to the distinguished recipients, who represent American academic medicine.
