Congratulations Dr. Vivek Moitra and Dr. Desmond Jordan

The Deaprtment of Anesthesiology is pleased and honored to announce that Dr. Desmond Jordan and Dr. Vivek Moitra have been inducted into the Academy of Clinical Excellence (ACE) at Columbia University Vagelos College of Physicians and Surgeons. 

Dr. Jordan and Dr. Moitra are both well-established and highly respected clinicians and educators who have passionately served our department and the entire institution for many years. They have dedicated their careers to finding new ways to further improve the quality of care of our patients. Their willingness and enthusiasm to educate and mentor trainees have extended their knowledge, skills and wisdom to many generations of new graduates, who in turn have taken their passion for clinical excellence across the country.

Dr. Vivek Moitra and Dr. Desmond Jordan

Originally proposed by Dean Lee Goldman in 2011, the mission of the ACE is to promote clinical excellence, among faculty and trainees, by recognizing outstanding individuals who have dedicated their careers to offering exceptional care to all patients. The Academy of Clinical Excellence (ACE) was officially launched in May 2016, and several faculty of our department were inducted into the inaugural class at that time.

Please join us in congratulating Dr. Jordan and Dr. Moitra for this honor. We are proud of their achievements in being recognized for their commitment to patient care excellence. We salute you!
