The Academy for Excellence in Clinical Medicine in the Vanderbilt University School of Medicine was established to honor exemplary clinicians who combine humanism, professionalism and a passion for patient care with a scholarly approach to improving patient health and who will establish a community of leaders to promote clinical excellence. These clinicians are often overlooked by traditional methods to honor faculty and are increasingly important in an era of rapid change in medicine. In addition to the honor of membership, elected members will play a large role in promoting clinical excellence and the art of medicine through professional development and mentoring.
