Neal Chatterjee, MD
"Neal is an exceptional research mentor who is highly responsive, engaging and thinks very critically about guiding mentees in choosing and committing to a project that aligns with their motivations, career interests, and intrinsic values... He was also patient as I came up with a research question, available to workshop and refine ideas but also giving me the space and guidance to think critically to make my own questions. This was a rare and highly valued quality as a research mentor."
Vincent Raikhel, MD
"Vince's work ethic and leadership are inspirational. His crafting of vital opportunities and invaluable mentorship have deeply impacted many future clinician educators, which will continue to profoundly ripple through innumerable students and patients."
