Renowned Hopkins Pediatrician Receives High Honors with Howland Medal Award |
|
Professor emerita of pediatrics at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, renowned Johns Hopkins Children's Center pediatrician and former JAMA editor Catherine D. DeAngelis, M.D., M.P.H., will receive the 2015 Howland Medal of the American Pediatric Society--one of the highest awards in pediatric medicine!
"This honor could have not gone to a more deserving individual. Dr. DeAngelis is a brilliant pediatrician as well as a passionate advocate of children's rights, a prolific researcher and a transformational educator." said Paul B. Rothman, M.D., dean of the medical faculty and CEO of Johns Hopkins Medicine. "Her work has profoundly altered the field of pediatric medicine and catalyzed changes well beyond it."
DeAngelis, a Johns Hopkins University Distinguished Service Professor Emerita, is the founding director of the Division of General Pediatrics at Johns Hopkins and the long-serving editor-in-chief (2000-2011) of the prestigious Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA). She is the first woman and the first pediatrician to hold that title.
Named in honor of Dr. John Howland, the second director of pediatrics at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, the award, with its accompanying medal, was first given out in 1952 and has been given to leaders in academic pediatrics for significant clinical, educational and scientific contributions to improve the lives of children and advance the profession of pediatrics.
DeAngelis will receive the Howland Medal award at the American Pediatric Society members' dinner in San Diego on April 26. Read more> |
