Accomplished physicians and researchers received the 2020 Jacobi Medallion, one of Mount Sinai’s highest awards, in a virtual ceremony on Tuesday, October 6, that also included the presentation of the Gold-Headed Cane—an honor only rarely bestowed.
The recipients of these awards have made exceptional contributions to the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, the Mount Sinai Health System, The Mount Sinai Alumni Association, or the fields of medicine or biomedicine. The presentation of the Gold-Headed Cane is the pinnacle to which a Mount Sinai physician may aspire. This award is rarely presented, and only then to the physician who best represents the traditions of Mount Sinai: devotion to patient care, scholarship, science, and teaching,
The event can be viewed here; and the digital program can be accessed here.
