  • Attracting the best of the best: Recruiting minority residents
    A growing problem that Boston-area hospitals face is that many minority medical school graduates are recruited to other parts of the country to do their training, and they then go on to become practicing physicians and senior faculty in those geographical areas. As a result, recruiting minority medical school graduates has become a priority for the MGH.
  • Admitting and Registration Services: The first impression of the MGH
    When patients come to the MGH, one of their first encounters usually is with a member of MGH Admitting and Registration Services. It is the Admitting Department staff who make sure the admission process runs smoothly for the more than 37,000 inpatient admissions and more than 1 million outpatient visits to the MGH each year.
  • Remembering a legacy of kindness: MGHers honored with Durante Award
    When long-time patient Arthur Durante, a beloved member of the MGH community, lost his battle with cancer last year, he left behind a legacy of compassion and excellence. The Susan and Arthur Durante Award for Exemplary Care and Service with Cancer Patients — created by Durante and his wife in 1999 — recognizes clinicians and support staff who have demonstrated exceptional caring in their work with cancer patients.
