The Center For Medical Humanities & Ethics Celebrates 10 Years
We have a lot to be thankful for at the Center for Medical Humanities & Ethics! A big THANK YOU to all of our friends who joined us in celebration of the Center’s first decade as a voice for compassion in medicine. Abraham Verghese, Richard Kogan, Laurie Garrett, and a panel of local health experts—we could not have hosted these renowned presenters without your enduring support. We are so grateful to have had this opportunity to reflect on our first ten years with you, and now to look ahead as we continue in our mission to prepare tomorrow’s healers to act with compassion and justice.
From the Center’s first days, we’ve stayed true to our mission to educate medical students and health professionals in ethics and professionalism while nurturing empathy and humanitarian values. Different roads bring different people to the same conclusion, and while our programs have changed and matured, our outcome remains consistent—medical leaders who approach their profession with compassion and a strong desire to heal. Our monthly newsletter will keep you up to date with news from our students and faculty, free Continuing Education events at the Center, and related events with our partners.

UT Medicine San Antonio experts make Best Doctors list
More than 150 physicians from UT Medicine San Antonio, the practice of the School of Medicine faculty at the UT Health Science Center San Antonio, are listed in Best Doctors in America® 2011-2012.
The Best Doctors database identifies the most respected medical doctors in more than 40 specialties of medicine. Only about 5 percent of physicians practicing in the U.S. are selected for each Best Doctors list.
The list is created through a peer-to-peer survey of the medical profession. Current Best Doctors are asked questions such as, "If you or a loved one needed a doctor in your specialty, to whom would you refer them?"
Doctors cannot pay to be listed and each list represents two years.
"This school's considerable successes in patient care, research and education are a direct result of the hard work and talent of our faculty," said Francisco González-Scarano, M.D., dean of the School of Medicine, professor of neurology and vice president for medical affairs of the Health Science Center. "This is a long list of honorees but it is still only a fraction of the fine physicians we have on the faculty here."
Congratulations to Dr. Trisha Anest
Dr. Trisha Anest, a recent graduate of the UT Health Science Center San Antonio School of Medicine, received the Women's Faculty Association Leadership Award on May 17, 2011. We're proud of you Trisha!
