Winners of the 2013 University Teaching Awards, the highest campus-wide recognition for teaching excellence, were recognized during halftime of the Carolina \u2013 Virginia Tech game on Feb. 2.<\/p>\n

Since the beginning of his medical career, Dr. Viera has contributed significantly to his surrounding communities. After completing his residency training in family medicine at the Jacksonville Naval Hospital in Florida, Dr. Viera served as an active duty Navy family physician and was posted in Guam for two years before returning to Jacksonville. During his time in the Navy, he received multiple service awards, such as the Gold Star and Commendation Medal, and teaching honors, including a New Faculty Scholar Award from the Society of Teachers of Family Medicine, and several Faculty Teacher of the Year awards from his department.<\/p>\n

He began his career in Chapel Hill as a Robert Wood Johnson Clinical Scholar in 2004 and has published 15 clinically focused papers in refereed journals, eight editorials, and five book chapters since then. In recognition of his clinical scholarship, Dr. Viera was invited to serve as an editor to the 6th edition of Essentials of Family Medicine, which is the predominant textbook used in family medicine clerkships nationwide<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
