Chicago, IL, April 22, 2023 – Page B. Pennell, MD, Henry B. Higman Professor of Neurology and Chair of the University of Pittsburgh Department of Neurology, was recently inducted into the Association of American Physicians (AAP), a prestigious nonprofit, professional organization founded in 1885 for the advancement of scientific and practical medicine.
“It is an honor to be nominated into this prestigious society of physician-researchers,” says Dr. Pennell. “I am very grateful for my nominators, Dr. Walter Koroshetz and Dr. Eva Feldman.” Dr. Koroshetz currently serves as the director of the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke, and Dr. Feldman is a professor of neurology at the University of Michigan as well as one of the world’s leading authorities on neurodegenerative disease.
According to the AAP website, “the goals of its members include the pursuit of medical knowledge, and the advancement through experimentation and discovery of basic and clinical science and their application to clinical medicine. Each year, individuals having attained excellence in achieving these goals, are recognized by nomination for membership by the Council of the Association. Their election gives them the opportunity to share their scientific discoveries and contributions with their colleagues at the annual meeting.”
The AAP continues to serve as a group of the best medical minds and as a forum to create and disseminate knowledge, promote friendship, and provide role models for upcoming generations of physicians and medical scientists.
