Hussein Abdullatif, M.D., Pediatric Endocrinology & Diabetes, received with the Leonard Tow Humanism in Medicine Award at the 2020 School of Medicine Commencement this Saturday, May 16. Sponsored by the Arnold P. Gold Foundation, this honor is given each year to a graduating student and faculty member in recognition of their value of humanism in the delivery of care to patients and their families. Zach Gentry, M.D., was the student winner of the award this year.

“I feel honored that I demonstrated to the medical students a positive example of treating patients with love, care, empathy and compassion,” said Dr. Latif on receiving the award. “I am humbled that I was chosen because I am certain that UAB and the Department of Pediatrics are filled with physicians that demonstrate wonderful examples of humanism in medicine.”

Congratulations Dr. Latif!
