It is awarded to medical school faculty who have made major contributions to improving the health and health care of the American people.
In addition to being a national leader in the development and implementation of the personalized medicine movement, Snyderman is recognized for his contributions to the development of the Duke University Health System, and the DCRI. He was also instrumental in creating initiatives that have helped to make Duke a leader in transforming how health care is delivered.
