John Schumann, MD, assistant professor of medicine, received the University of Chicago nomination for the Association of American Medical Colleges Humanism in Medicine Award in October. He was recognized for that nomination at the Gold Humanism Honor Society on March 8.
Readers of Medical Imaging, a trade magazine for radiologists, selected Roberto M. Lang, MD, professor of medicine, director of noninvasive cardiac imaging labs and director of the cardiology fellowship program, as one of the 10 best people in cardiovascular imaging in the second annual survey of the “Medical Imaging Industry Top 10”. Lang made the list in 2006 as well. The magazine also noted that Dianna Bardo, MD, assistant professor of radiology, was second runner up in the category: “outstanding practicing radiologists,” which is based on current research, cutting-edge techniques, patient care and outcomes, and industry interaction.
