Veteran faculty honored with service awards

Ten longtime faculty members at the University of Florida College of Medicine-Jacksonville were honored with service awards this month.

Three are celebrating 20 years with the university, while seven more were recognized for their 10-year anniversary at the academic health center.

The experienced faculty physicians are spread over the campus in various specialties from cardiology and emergency medicine to surgery and radiology. Two of the honorees practice in the UF&Shands network of primary care clinics – one in Callahan and the other in North Jacksonville at the UF Dunn Avenue Family Practice Center.

Wilson, M.D., Ph.D., vice president of health affairs and dean of the UF College of Medicine-Jacksonville . "Our patients, colleagues-in-training, and the community as a whole are fortunate to have such dedicated and skilled clinicians in Jacksonville."
