In the tradition of Drs. Ernie Thielen and Paul Strottmann, a few clinicians have distinguished themselves by the breadth of their clinical skills, outstanding personal and emotional traits, and teaching skills. These are the master clinicians: the superior care givers, the distinguished mentors of students, residents, fellows, and junior faculty, the opinion leaders that inspire and foster clinical excellence. We are committed to a culture that encourages the development of future master clinicians.
