1. DR. GROSSMAN RECEIVES ESTEEMED HONOR
Dr.
Michael Grossman, MD, FACP, has been selected by his peers to receive a
Mastership award, one of the American College of Physicians most distinguished
honors. Mastership in the American
College of Physicians-American Society of Internal Medicine is bestowed upon
select Fellows who have achieved recognition in medicine by exhibiting
pre-eminence in practice or medical research, holding positions of high honor,
or making significant contributions to medical science or the art of
medicine. Each year a number of
individuals at the very top of their field are nominated for Mastership, but
not all are elected.
Dr.
Grossman is the associate dean for graduate medical education for the AHSC
Phoenix Campus and played a key role in the development of the Arizona Medical
Education Consortium, formerly the Phoenix Area Medical Education Consortium
(PAMEC), for which he is the executive director.
