This year’s Leaders in Clinical Excellence award recipients reflect the extraordinary breadth and impact of clinical talent at UT Southwestern and serve as an inspiration to us all through their dedication and compassion.

Established in 2018, the Leaders in Clinical Excellence Awards recognize clinical faculty across our many sites of service for their exceptional contributions to the care of our patients, to the education and training of the next generation of health care professionals, and to the advancement of UT Southwestern overall.

The entire UT Southwestern community is invited to celebrate the 2025 honorees in person at the eighth annual Leaders in Clinical Excellence Awards.

The 2025 ceremony will be hosted by UT Southwestern President Daniel K. Podolsky, M.D.; Jonathan Efron, M.D., Executive Vice President for Health System Affairs; and W. P. Andrew Lee, M.D., Executive Vice President for Academic Affairs, Provost, and Dean of UT Southwestern Medical School, and will include remarks from the award recipients.

The event will be held Wednesday, Nov. 5, at 4:30 p.m. in the Tom and Lula Gooch Auditorium on South Campus, followed by a reception on McDermott Plaza. To ensure there is enough food and drinks for all attendees, we ask that UT Southwestern faculty, staff, and learners please register. You can find registration and event details online, where you’ll also see an option to view the celebration via a livestream. Until then, we hope you will click through to read about this year’s Leaders in Clinical Excellence honorees.
