Each of you has played a role in making this a reality.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Past department chair Fred Sparling started the process in 2014. Both Greganti and Sparling had envisioned a professorship that would honor a clinician educator, who would serve as a respected role model with a commitment to the continuity of patient care, with a holistic approach to providing ongoing care.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI am especially pleased that Jan Busby-Whitehead is the first recipient,&#8221; Greganti said. &#8220;Jan has worked tirelessly as the division chief of geriatric medicine, since the division became a reality in 2003. In fact, it was Jan, who urged Marschall Runge, the department chair at the time, to add a geriatric division to the department of medicine.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Jan Busby-Whitehead, MD, the First Recipient<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The celebration recognized Busby-Whitehead as a nationally recognized leader in her field, who has developed curricula across multiple disciplines throughout her career, providing education and training for residents, fellows and faculty, as well as medical students. She was also recognized for publishing more than 100 peer reviewed articles and book chapters in prestigious journals and textbooks, serving on numerous international and national academic committees. But most importantly, Busby-Whitehead was praised for providing expert care to her patients.
