VA Physician Wins Prestigious Award The American College of Physicians (ACP) recently awarded the prestigious John Phillips Memorial Award for 2001 to Marvin H. Sleisenger, MD, MACP, professor and vice chair of the UCSF Department of Medicine and San Francisco VA Medical Center's (SFVAMC) Chief of Medical Service from 1968 through 1988. The ACP established the annual award in 1929 to honor one of its members for outstanding work in clinical medicine. Sleisenger has played a pivotal role in the academic excellence of the VA facility since 1967 when he helped renegotiate SFVAMC’s academic affiliation with UCSF. Since then, the SFVAMC has risen to international prominence. Sleisenger is known for his outstanding skills and leadership in teaching, clinical care and research in internal medicine and gastroenterology, and for establishing a highly academic medical service. From 1965 until 1970, Sleisenger was the editor of the highly regarded journal Gastroenterology, and in 1973 co-edited with John Fortran the textbook Gastrointestinal and Liver Disease, now in its seventh edition and considered the standard textbook for the field. He was elected president of the American Gastroenterology Association in 1976, and in 1986 he received his Mastership in the ACP (MACP). The Department of Veterans Affairs chose Sleisenger as VA Distinguished Physician from 1992 to 1995, and in 1997 he won the David M. Worthen Award for academic excellence. Links: |
