Harold M. Maurer, M.D., chancellor of the University of Nebraska Medical<\/p>\n

Center, has been honored by the Lincoln Medical Education Foundation, Inc.<\/p>\n

for his accomplishments in promoting medical education.<\/p>\n

The foundation presented Dr. Maurer with the John C. Finegan Award,<\/p>\n

named after the organizations first Family Practice Program director.<\/p>\n

Dale Gruntorad, foundation president, said he and Bruce Gfeller, M.D.,<\/p>\n

president of the organizations Family Practice Program, have been impressed<\/p>\n

with Dr. Maurers efforts at UNMC to raise educational standards for medical<\/p>\n

school graduation.<\/p>\n

Dr. Maurer has distinguished himself through his continued focus on<\/p>\n

primary care residencies in greater Nebraska during a time when he also<\/p>\n

has accomplished the merger of University Hospital and Clarkson Hospital<\/p>\n

to form Nebraska Health System, Gruntorad said.<\/p>\n

These accomplishments were a significant undertaking by themselves<\/p>\n

without including his ability to update campus facilities and increase<\/p>\n

non-taxpayer funding for research and medical studies, which are regionally<\/p>\n

and nationally recognized.<\/p>\n

The Lincoln Medical Education Foundation was established by the Lincoln<\/p>\n

hospitals and Lancaster County Medical Society in 1972 as a cooperative<\/p>\n

nonprofit corporation. Its primary focus was to train family practice physicians,<\/p>\n

but it has evolved into a multi-dimensional organization providing other<\/p>\n

services such as cancer counseling and continuing medical and health education.<\/p>\n

Dr. Maurer was appointed chancellor of the University of Nebraska Medical<\/p>\n

Center in December 1998 after serving as dean of the College of Medicine<\/p>\n

since 1993.<\/p>\n

From 1968 to 1993, Dr. Maurer was on the faculty of the Childrens Medical<\/p>\n

Center at the Medical College of Virginia in Richmond, serving as the Jessie<\/p>\n

Ball duPont Professor and Chairman of the Department of Pediatrics during<\/p>\n

his last nine years there. Prior to this, he served two years as chief<\/p>\n

of pediatrics for the U.S. Public Health Service Hospital in Norfolk, Va.,<\/p>\n

and he did a two-year fellowship in pediatric hematology and oncology at<\/p>\n

Babies Hospital at Columbia-Presbyterian Medical Center in New York.<\/p>\n

UNMC is the only public academic health science center in the state.<\/p>\n

Through its commitment to research, education, outreach and patient care,<\/p>\n

UNMC has established itself as one of the country’s leading centers for<\/p>\n

cancer research and treatment and solid organ transplantation. More than<\/p>\n

$34 million in research grants and contracts are awarded to UNMC scientists<\/p>\n

annually. In addition, UNMC’s educational programs are responsible for<\/p>\n

training more health professionals practicing in Nebraska than any other<\/p>\n

institution.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
