Winship members are among Emory University School of Medicine faculty recognized and honored for their accomplishments and excellence in patient care, research and education, during Faculty Recognitions Week.
Every year, Emory University School of Medicine celebrates Faculty Recognitions Week, this year held during the week of October 26, when faculty are recognized and honored for all of their accomplishments and excellence in patient care, research and education. On October 28, the 7th Annual Celebration of Faculty Excellence was held virtually to celebrate all the accomplishments and to present this year's recipients with various awards as nominated by the School of Medicine Recognitions Committee.
