It was a great honor for me this week to be surrounded by a group of recognized educators and to have the privilege of meeting President Obama during an inspiring awards ceremony at the White House.
Mentoring aspiring physicians and researchers continues to be one of the most gratifying aspects of my career. I accepted the Presidential Award of Excellence on behalf of all the students I have had the privilege of mentoring through the years.
