Thirty-five BWH physicians were named 2017 Distinguished Clinicians during a ceremony on Jan. 31 in Bornstein Amphitheater.

The event, now in its second year, recognizes some of the most accomplished practicing physicians on staff. In addition to clinicians from BWH, several physicians from BWFH were also honored with the title.

The honorees were nominated by their department chairs and selected by a committee chaired by Chief Medical Officer Stan Ashley, MD; Robert Barbieri, MD, chair, Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology; Joseph Loscalzo, MD, PhD, chair, Department of Medicine; and Martin Samuels, MD, chair, Department of Neurology. The committee also included three 2016 Distinguished Clinicians: Elizabeth Loder, MD, MPH, of Neurology; Linda Van Marter, MD, MPH, Department of Pediatric Newborn Medicine; and Beverly Woo, MD, Department of Medicine.

“These remarkable clinicians raise the bar for all of us as healers,” said Ashley. “Their clinical excellence and deep commitment to their patients, colleagues and community exemplify what it means to be a Distinguished Clinician.”
