| Lindenbaum Professorship |
| To honor the memory of Dr. John Lindenbaum each year the Department
of Medicine invites a prominent minority physician to be a
Lindenbaum Visiting Professor at Columbia University Medical
Center. Over two days, the Lindenbaum Professorship includes
opportunities for the department’s leadership to meet with the
honoree and the minority faculty. The honoree also meets with
housestaff, fellows, and students, often leading morning report and
joining attending rounds. One of the highlights of the visit is when
the visiting Professor gives Medical Grand Rounds. |
