Dr. Basu has been awarded the Stanford/Kaiser Emergency Medicine Residency Program's highly prized "Consultant of the Year" Award, which is "dedicated to the consultant who, on a regular basis, acts in the best interest of Emergency Department patient care through clinical knowledge, action, teaching, and leadership." He is the first radiologist to win this award. A few of the many attributes for which Dr. Basu was commended include his outstanding radiologic communication, unusual ability to build consensus, as well as his extraordinary leadership and vision. His unique talents have earned him the universal respect of his peers who nominated him for this award, which he will receive at a special banquet on June 19th. "I highly value teamwork, leadership, and interpersonal skills and to be recognized for those skills is a great honor," Dr. Basu commented. "I am happy to be able to represent the Department and the profession with this accolade. Even though this is an individual recognition, I truly believe it is a team accomplishment."
