Samuels Receives Lifetime Achievement Award
Martin Samuels, MD, neurologist-in-chief and chairman of the Department of Neurology, this month received the Baker Award for Lifetime Achievement in Neurologic Education, the highest award given by the American Academy of Neurology (AAN). The AAN is an international professional association of more than 19,000 neurologists and neuroscience professionals. “This is a tremendous honor for me and a reflection of all excellent care, dynamic research and top education we have in BWH Neurosciences Center of Excellence,” Samuels said.
Samuels’ expertise lies in the interface between neurology and the rest of medicine. He has articulated numerous innovative concepts in the areas of neurocardiology, neurohematology, neurohepatology, neuronephrology, neurorheumatology, and the neurological aspects of organ transplantation and acid-base and electrolyte disturbances. Samuels is the current president of the Association of University Professors of Neurology, the organization of department leadership for all neurology departments in North America.
