Dr. George Martin has served as Vice President for Medical Education and Designated Institutional Official (DIO) here at Wyckoff Heights Medical Center for the past 2 and a half years. He was honored recently by the Touro College of Osteopathic Medicine by choosing him to be the Keynote Speaker at their White Coat Ceremony, a ceremony where incoming medical students are introduced to their new profession by having them put on a white coat for the first time. This recognition was bestowed upon Dr. Martin (and secondarily to all of Wyckoff) as an acknowledgement and in appreciation of the exceptional medical education we now provide our medical students (and residents).
Dr. Martin received his M.D. from the NYU School of Medicine, where he graduated first in his class. He then went on to train in Internal Medicine at Bellevue Hospital, where he served as Chief Resident, and in Gastroenterology at the Peter Bent Brigham Hospital in Boston.
Dr. Martin has been actively involved in medical education throughout his long and distinguished career, teaching residents, GI fellows, and medical students. Over this time, he has been named “Teacher of the Year” multiple times and has been honored for his Humanism in Medicine by the Health Care Foundation of New Jersey.
Kudos to Dr. Martin and to all the clinical departments here at Wyckoff Heights Medical Center.
