Two of our esteemed faculty were selected as recipients of the 2019 School of Medicine Dean's Excellence Awards.

Vishnu Reddy, M.D., Professor, Anatomic Pathology, receives the 2019 Dean's Excellence Award in Service, Senior Faculty.

Yabing Chen, Ph.D., Vice Chair for Faculty Development and Education and Professor, Pathology, receives the 2019 Dean's Excellence Award in Mentorship, Senior Faculty. 

Reddy and Chen represent two of this year's 18 award winners.

These annual honors recognize outstanding contributions made by faculty across the School of Medicine--one to a junior faculty member (instructor or assistant professor) and the other to a senior faculty member (associate or full professor)--in the areas of service, teaching, research, mentorship, and diversity enhancement.
Awardees are selected through a peer-review process facilitated by a member of the dean's leadership team.

In March, Dr. Reddy was honored with the naming of a conference room in the North Pavilion for him. 

"We are very pleased to have this recognition bestowed on two of our deserving colleagues for their years of service and mentorship to the Department and the school," said George Netto, M.D., Chair, UAB Department of Pathology. "We look forward to celebrating these individuals at an event in June with their peers and school leadership."
