Outstanding Clinician Award—To recognize and honor full-time faculty of any duration of service, who have made outstanding contributions to patient care at MUSC. Active clinicians, who commit a significant portion of their time caring for patients in ambulatory or inpatient settings are eligible for this award. Awardees will have demonstrated a high level of professionalism, integrity, and devotion to patient care. They will have gained recognition as dedicated, compassionate and highly effective clinicians. Their clinical excellence and service commitment identify them as role models for residents, students and their faculty colleagues.
