Douglas Zipes, M.D., Distinguished Professor of Medicine, Recognized Nationally and Locally
INDIANAPOLIS-- Douglas Zipes, M.D., distinguished professor of medicine at the Indiana University School of Medicine, chief of cardiology at Indiana University, and director of the Krannert Research Institute, is being recognized by three organizations for his dedication and work in cardiovascular health care.
Dr. Zipes has been named the recipient of the James B. Herrick Award of the American Heart Association for his excellence in clinical work. The award was presented to Dr. Zipes at the Council on Clinical Cardiology Annual Dinner at the AHA Scientific Sessions in Orlando the first week of November. The James B. Herrick Award honors a physician whose scientific achievements have contributed to the advancement and practice of clinical cardiology.
Prior to the AHA meeting, Dr. Zipes will receive the 1997 Nycomed Award for Excellence for his outstanding contributions and leadership in cardiovascular health care by the Board of Directors of the American College of Cardiovascular Administrators, also in Orlando.
Dr. Zipes was recently awarded the 22nd Annual Arthur B. Richter Lectureship in Clinical Cardiology. The lecture is sponsored by St. Vincent Hospital and the Indiana Heart Institute to further education in clinical cardiology with an emphasis on clinical and bedside aspects of diagnosis. Lecturers are internationally prominent teachers and clinicians. This year's lecture was especially poignant because of Dr. Richter's death earlier this year.
