Alan E. Matook, MD is Honored at Learning Center Dedication

Alan E. Matook, MD, M.Sc., Chairman and Program Director (Emeritus), Department of Medicine, cuts the ribbon at the dedication of the Residents’ Learning Center named in his honor. Dr. Matook chaired the fundraising campaign for the project, which has raised more than $190,000.

The Learning Center provides residents in the Internal Medicine Residency Program with access to teleconferencing, linking them to partners nationwide. As a result, they can participate in off-site lectures in numerous specialties that are mandatory to maintain the Hospital’s accreditation from the Residency Review Committee of the Accrediting Council of Graduate Medical Education.
