2022 Winner Spotlight

Christian Larsen Surgery

“Dr. Larsen feels very strongly that one of the great contributions an individual can make to the Emory community and society in general is to train the next generation of scientists, clinicians, and leaders. He has served as a mentor, role model, and teacher to numerous trainees over the past 30 years. Many of his trainees now lead other major programs, including transplant programs at the University of North Carolina, the University of Minnesota, the University of Connecticut, and the HCA Healthcare System. Through this training, he has not only imparted technical and analytical skills but the importance of workplace culture and emotional intelligence.”
