In honor of National Doctors’ Day (March 30), the Emory University School of Medicine Recognitions Committee asked faculty and staff to nominate doctors who demonstrate dedication to improving the health and well-being of our patients and community through the care they provide, the research they conduct, and/or their efforts to teach and inspire young doctors. Congratulations to this year’s Endocrinology nominees (listed below). The Department of Medicine would also like to thank all of our Endocrinology, Metabolism and Lipids faculty for their commitment to Emory and our patients.
