Outstanding Mentor Award

Ashley Grossman has trained many leading endocrinologists in Europe and the world. With his amazing ability to combine superb clinical knowledge and many years of patient-related experience with up-to-date detailed knowledge of basic science, he enthusiastically transferred his love of academic and clinical endocrinology to his younger colleagues.

Many of his over 100 trainees are now leaders in their field of expertise, but still keep contact and long-lasting friendship with him. In addition to trainees in the UK and Europe, Ashley has provided considerable support to fellows and young physicians arriving from less privileged countries form Asia and Africa and he set up yearly training sessions for a new generation of endocrinologists in Central Asia.
