Four University of Miami Miller School of Medicine physicians have been inducted into the prestigious Association of American Physicians (AAP), founded in 1885 for “the advancement of scientific and practical medicine.” Induction is considered a great honor as members have included Nobel laureates and members of the National Academy of Science and the Institute of Medicine.
The new UM honorees are Antonio Bianco, M.D., Ph.D., professor of medicine and chief of the Division of Endocrinology, Diabetes, and Metabolism, Richard Cote, M.D., professor and chair of pathology and director of the Biomedical Nanoscience Institute, Camillo Ricordi, M.D., Stacy Joy Goodman Professor of Surgery, Distinguished Professor of Medicine and scientific director of the Diabetes Research Institute, and Joyce Slingerland, M.D., Ph.D., professor of medicine and biochemistry and molecular biology, associate director for translational research and director of the Braman Family Breast Cancer Institute at the Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center. They were inducted during the organization’s annual meeting in Chicago on April 24.
“It is an incredible accomplishment to have four faculty members from the same institution inducted into the AAP at the same time,” said Pascal J. Goldschmidt, M.D., Senior Vice President for Medical Affairs and Dean of the Miller School and CEO of the University of Miami Health System. “All four inductees are stellar physician-scientists who have contributed greatly to the advancement of science in their chosen fields.”
