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. These clinicians are increasingly important in an era of rapid change in medicine, and VUSM wants to recognize their contribution to its mission of clinical excellence and innovation. 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.
