Chair Portrayed in Synapse Article as Exceptional Mentor

"Dr. (Nancy) Ascher excels in her role as Chair of Surgery, not only for her inexplicable foresight, but because she stays connected to trainees and students. This year, Dr. Ascher received the Francis Moore Excellence in Mentorship in the Field of Transplantation Surgery Award from the American Society of Transplant Surgeons."

"Residents and fellows noted that Dr. Nancy Ascher is an effective mentor because she treats them like colleagues and not just trainees. Residents and fellows felt "immersed and integral in the program which empowered them and helped their growth." Dr. Ascher emphasizes that a meaningful mentor-mentee relationship allows an honest exchange about the student's career path and the mentor's willingness to be that student's advocate."
