Anesthesiologists Recognized for Clinical Excellence

Each year, University of Minnesota Physicians recognizes distinguished clinicians for the extraordinary patient care they have provided as part of our annual Clinical Excellence Honors recognition program. While there are many health metrics that measure clinical performance, there are qualities of true excellence that may not easily or typically be captured: compassion, collegiality and a steadfast commitment to thorough and accessible care.

The Clinical Excellence Honors program is simple, clinicians are asked who they would send their loved ones to for care based on these qualities of excellence they observe in the clinic each day.

This year, 22 anesthesiologists were honored with this important recognition.
