Professor and Vice Chair Dr. Amal Mattu, MD, was recently selected as a 2025 Pass and Susel Fellow of the Academy of Educational Excellence. University of Maryland alumni, Dr. Carolyn Pass and Dr. Richard Susel, established the Academy and designed it to recognize faculty members who demonstrate excellence in bedside, classroom, and innovative education. 

The Selection Committee felt that Dr. Mattu embodies the highest ideals of the medical profession and displayed an uncommon commitment to students' education—a sentiment widely shared by the entire Emergency Medicine department.

Emergency Medicine faculty are no strangers to this award. In 2017, Professor and Associate Dean Joseph Martinez, MD, was also recognized with this honor.

Congratulations, Dr. Mattu!
