On May 28, Professor and Department Chair Mike Winters, MD, MBA and Professor and Chief Clinical Officer/Senior Vice President of the University of Maryland Medical Center (UMMC) David Marcozzi, MD, MHS-CL, participated in UMSOM’s Town Hall, focused on the school’s clinical mission area.
Dr. Marcozzi presented information on UMMC’s Clinical Updates, and Dr. Winters presented information on Emergency Medicine’s Clinical Updates.
In the town hall, Dr. Winters described comprehensive care transformations the Department has made in the past year throughout our clinical sites to further ensure high-quality, timely care for our patients.
With support from Dr. Marcozzi and others throughout UMMC, our clinical sites have experienced remarkable success, including significantly reduced left-without-being-seen (LWBS) rates as a result of these transformations.
On May 19, at the Annual Meeting of the Society for Academic Emergency Medicine (SAEM), held this year in Atlanta, Georgia, Professor and Vice Chair Amal Mattu, MD, was honored with SAEM’s Hal Jayne Excellence in Education Award. Dr. Mattu was one of only a handful of Emergency Medicine leaders across the nation recognized by SAEM this year.
Dr. Mattu was noted in his nomination for the ways he has “distinguished himself as a high-impact physician leader while simultaneously developing a reputation as one of emergency medicine's most innovative, effective, and influential teachers.”
Dr. Mattu's award comes on the heels of another significant national award. In April, the American Academy of Emergency Medicine (AAEM) recognized Dr. Mattu with the Master of AAEM designation--its highest honor. Our Department is grateful for the nearly three decades Dr. Mattu has offered his service and leadership as a faculty member!
