Clark Receives Minority Career Development Award

Cheryl Clark, MD, SD, MS, Department of Medicine, received the BWH Minority Career Development Award. Launched in 1997, this award grants talented minority physicians with $150,000 to support them throughout their fellowship and into their junior faculty appointment.

Clark is a clinical fellow in Medicine at Harvard Medical School, and a senior resident in Internal Medicine at BWH. This year, she became one of the chief residents of Faulkner Hospital, where she supervises teaching activities for internal medicine residents.

“This is an exciting time at BWH for people like myself who are interested in correcting the conditions that lead to health disparities rooted in race, gender and social class,” Clark said.

Moving forward, Clark hopes to become a leader of academic physician health disparities researchers who will propose solutions for these disparities and intervene to establish conditions for better health.
