Harvard Medical School Faculty Awarded Presidential Citations from Triological Society
On Thursday, May 4, three distinguished Harvard Otolaryngology–Head and Neck Surgery (OHNS) faculty members were awarded Presidential Citations by the Triological Society at the Combined Otolaryngology Spring Meetings (COSM) in Boston.
Mark A. Varvares, MD, FACS, Chief of OHNS at Mass Eye and Ear; Stacey T. Gray, MD, Vice Chair of Otolaryngology Education at Mass Eye and Ear; and Gerald B. Healy, MD, emeritus Surgeon-in-Chief at Boston Children’s Hospital, were each bestowed citations by Ralph B. Metson, MD, President of the Triological Society, inside the Hynes Convention Center during Opening Ceremonies of the Society’s 125th Anniversary Annual Meeting.
“It is my great honor to present citations to three world-class surgeons and educators who have touched the lives of numerous physicians within our specialty,” said Dr. Metson, Professor of OHNS at Harvard Medical School and a Physician and Surgeon at Mass Eye and Ear. “Your impact has been profound and, for that, we say, ‘Thank You.’”
The Triological Society—widely considered the most prestigious society in otolaryngology—considers the Presidential Citation its highest honor. The honor is bestowed to a select group of otolaryngologists whose careers have left a profound impact on mentees, colleagues, patients and their field as a whole.
