Residents and Fellows Recognized as ACE Rising Stars

We are proud to celebrate the outstanding residents and fellows who received the Rising Star Award from Columbia’s Academy of Clinical Excellence (ACE). Presented biennially, the award recognizes early-career physicians in clinical departments whose excellence, integrity, and impact set them apart.

The Rising Star Award honors individuals who consistently exceed expectations in clinical care, education, and scholarship. The awardees demonstrate

• humanism, emotional intelligence, and professionalism

• exceptional clinical knowledge, skill, and adaptability within complex health systems

• innovation and scholarly productivity

• leadership as educators, role models, and collaborators

The ACE Rising Star Award reflects the qualities we would seek in the clinicians caring for our own loved ones.

We congratulate our department's awardees and thank them for their exceptional contributions to our patients and our community.
