Zinner Wins Clinical Excellence Award
Michael J. Zinner, MD, BWH’s surgeon-in-chief and chairman of Surgery, this month received an award for Clinical Excellence from Castle Connolly Medical Ltd., publishers of “America’s Top Doctors.” Castle Connolly presented the award to Zinner in March in New York City, as the organization recognized several top clinicians in the world, including Dr. Michael DeBakey.
“It was an honor to represent BWH and receive this award, and truly humbling,” Zinner said. “Surgery is a collaborative effort, and this award is a reflection of our dynamic teamwork and dedication to excellence.” Silbert Speaks At Israel Academy of Sciences and Humanities
Jeremiah Silbert, MD, of the Division of Rheumatology, Immunology and Allergy, and Bedford VA senior medical investigator emeritus, presented the guest lecture to the Israel Academy of Sciences and Humanities at Jerusalem in November to honor the 80th birthday of Nathan Sharon of the Weizmann Institute. Silbert’s presentation “Glycoproteins and Lectins in Biology and Medicine” was designed to review and comment on the outstanding accomplishments of Sharon’s career, with an emphasis on realized and potential applications to current medical therapy.
