Endocrine Society member Ruth S. Weinstock, MD, PhD, has been selected to receive the American Diabetes Association 2017 Outstanding Physician Clinician in Diabetes Award. Presented annually, the award honors meritorious contributions to diabetes clinical practice. Weinstock will be recognized with this honor during the Association’s 77th Scientific Sessions, June 9-13, 2017, in San Diego.
Weinstock is distinguished service professor and division chief of endocrinology, diabetes and metabolism at the State University of New York (SUNY) Upstate Medical University, medical director of the Clinical Research Unit and medical director of the Joslin Diabetes Center at Upstate Medical University in Syracuse, N.Y.
