Honor recognizes her dedication to effectively mentoring female cardiologists
The American Heart Association’s Council on Clinical Cardiology has honored Roxana Mehran, MD , Director of Interventional Cardiovascular Research and Clinical Trials at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, with the prestigious “Women in Cardiology Mentoring Award.” The award recognizes Dr. Mehran’s outstanding record of effectively mentoring women cardiologists and underscores the importance of mentoring in the professional development of women.
“As a physician in a field of medicine with low representation of women, I feel an imperative to support other women in cardiology,” Dr. Mehran says. “To be recognized for this work by my global peers is an exceptional honor.”
