ACC's Distinguished Service Awards, which were presented during the Convocation ceremony at ACC.09 in Orlando, recognize the professional excellence and substantial contributions of the many awardees.
One of those that received the Distinguished Scientists Award was our very own Dr. Daniel Mark, Professor of Medicine, Vice Chief of the Division of Cardiovascular Medicine. Dr. Mark is also Director of Outcomes Research at the Duke Clinical Research Institute and editor of the American Heart Journal. His unique ability to blend quantitative thinking with clinical expertise has given him a well-deserved position among the world's foremost cardiovascular clinical investigators and quantitative methodologists. He has pioneered contributions in diagnostic testing and risk prediction, economics and cost effectiveness and assessing quality of life as an important patient outcome. Mark's warmth, humor and generosity complement his unique leadership skills and grasp of complex issues in technology assessment. He truly exemplifies the word "distinguished."
