Steven Gambert ’75: Gold Medal for Outstanding Achievements in Clinical Medicine

Steven Gambert ’75 was presented with the Gold Medal Award for Outstanding Achievements in Clinical Medicine at the VP&S Alumni Reunion on April 19, 2024, in New York City.

After training in internal medicine and endocrinology, Dr. Gambert devoted almost five decades to the field of geriatric medicine and advocated for improved training for medical students and residents in the care of older adults. In Westchester, New York, he started a Center on Aging with research, education, and clinical activities. He later developed a 400-bed "teaching nursing home" to educate students, residents, fellows, and practicing physicians. Dr. Gambert is a tenured professor of medicine and surgery at the University of Maryland School of Medicine, a professor of medicine at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, and director of geriatric medicine at the R Adams Cowley Shock Trauma Center.

Each year, during the VP&S Alumni Reunion Weekend, alumni receive Gold Medal awards for distinguished service and achievements in clinical and academic medicine. Medalists are nominated or self-nominated and chosen by a committee of their peers. Submissions are accepted on a rolling basis. Learn more.
