On May 19, at the Annual Meeting of the Society for Academic Emergency Medicine (SAEM), held this year in Atlanta, Georgia, Professor and Vice Chair Amal Mattu, MD, was honored with SAEM’s Hal Jayne Excellence in Education Award. Dr. Mattu was one of only a handful of Emergency Medicine leaders across the nation recognized by SAEM this year.
Dr. Mattu was noted in his nomination for the ways he has “distinguished himself as a high-impact physician leader while simultaneously developing a reputation as one of emergency medicine's most innovative, effective, and influential teachers.”
Dr. Mattu's award comes on the heels of another significant national award. In April, the American Academy of Emergency Medicine (AAEM) recognized Dr. Mattu with the Master of AAEM designation--its highest honor. Our Department is grateful for the nearly three decades Dr. Mattu has offered his service and leadership as a faculty member!
