Clinical Distinctions

Our Physician, Senior Physician, Distinguished Physician, and Eminent Physician Clinical Distinctions are designed to recognize faculty who have made significant clinical contributions.

The Emory School of Medicine adopted the Clinical Distinctions (CD) Program in January 2021. Nominations for the next session will begin soon. If you are interested in being nominated, please contact your Division Director or Department Chair. Learn more about the School of Medicine CD Program here.
