Laura Mauri, MD, learned during her residency in Internal Medicine at Brigham and Women’s Hospital that working as a team is important. “No matter how smart you are, you can’t do everything alone,” Mauri says.
She is one of the many graduates of the residency program that have gone on to prestigious careers. Today, she serves as chief scientific officer at the Harvard Clinical Research Institute and is an interventional cardiologist at Brigham and Women’s Hospital. Other graduates have served as president of the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, commissioner of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, and editor of the New England Journal of Medicine.
For a quarter of a century, Marshall Wolf, MD, led Brigham and Women’s Hospital’s residency program. Dr. Wolf is widely regarded as the father of modern medical education. In 2000, Joel Katz, MD, took over as the program’s director. He remembers the advice that Dr. Wolf gave him: “We may be the best program in the country, but we should always find ways to make it better.”
