Guidry News, July 15 2007 GALVESTON, Texas - Dr. John D. Stobo, president of the University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston, accepted the annual John P. McGovern Lifetime Achievement Award in Oslerian Medicine at a ceremony held Friday evening at the historic Open Gates conference center in Galveston.   Established in 2001, the non-monetary award serves to recognize a longstanding UTMB School of Medicine faculty member who exemplifies the teaching and practice of humane patient care in contemporary academic medicine. Previous holders include Drs. A. Ray Remmers (2001), Don W. Powell (2002), E. Burke Evans (2003), the late John R. Calverley (2004), Alvin L. LeBlanc (2005) and Melvyn H. Schreiber (2006).   Recipients of the honor are selected by the eight Osler Scholars, members of UTMB's John P. McGovern Academy of Oslerian Medicine who themselves are chosen as role models of compassionate, scientifically grounded, patient-centered care in the tradition of Canadian physician and essayist William Osler (1849-1919). Osler was a founder of Johns Hopkins Medical School and the author of "The Principles and Practice of Medicine," which became the standard international medical textbook for more than 50 years after it was first published in 1892.
