Richard Azizkhan, M.D. |
Dr. Azizkhan, who also is president and CEO of Children’s Hospital & Medical Center, was presented the award at an April 28 event in Charlottesville, Va. A graduate of Pennsylvania State University College of Medicine, he came to the University of Virginia in 1976 to do his general surgery residency and served as chief resident during his time there.
The past president of the World Federation of Associations of Pediatric Surgeons, Dr. Azizkhan has served in leadership roles in numerous national and international surgical organizations.
“Dr. Azizkhan is arguably one of the most successful and influential graduates of our General Surgery Residency Program,” said R. Scott Jones, M.D., professor emeritus at the University of Virginia School of Medicine, who was one of the people who nominated Dr Azizkhan for the award.
