Edward C. Rosenow III, MD, Master FCCP/Master Teacher Honor Lecture
Awarded to Mark J. Rosen, MD, FCCP
The Edward C. Rosenow III, MD, Master FCCP Honor Lecture and the Master Teacher in Continuing Medical Education Award have been combined and renamed as the “Edward C. Rosenow III, MD, Master FCCP/Master Teacher Honor Lecture.” As the Rosenow award honored an ACCP member who made an outstanding contribution to the mentorship and training of chest physicians or to the overall development of ACCP, and the Master Teacher Award recognized the innovative and exceptional contributions of medical educators, this is, indeed, a fitting union. Dr. Edward C. Rosenow has promoted the development and training of hundreds of chest physicians during his 3 decades at the Mayo Clinic. The first Edward C. Rosenow III, MD, Master FCCP/Master Teacher Honor Lecture was conferred at CHEST 2005.
