Hohler Named Mayo Clinic Visiting Professor

Anna DePold Hohler, MD, associate professor of neurology and director of the Center for Military and Post Deployment Health, has been named the 2016 Burton Sandok Visiting Professor of Neurological Education by the Mayo Clinic, Rochester, Minn. She is the first female to receive the award.

Each year Mayo’s Department of Neurology coordinates a rigorous search to evaluate nominations from neurology departments across the country. The award recipient is chosen for their accomplishments and passion in the field of neurology, medical education and research.

Hohler was invited to spend two days at the institution, where she presented a lecture for the first-year neurology course and discussed complex cases in a resident and fellow didactic session.  In addition, she rounded on the neurology wards, and provided Grand Rounds to the department of Neurology on Maintaining Relevance in Neurological Education.

“It was interesting to discuss educational and research initiatives with a dynamic and engaged group of physician leaders,” said Hohler, who also is assistant dean in the Office of Academic Affairs. “They were excited to learn about our successes at BUSM and Boston Medical Center, and eager to pursue collaborations.”
