Hope Rugo: 2023 Master Clinicians in the Department of Medicine
Dr. Hope Rugo was named a 2023 Department of Medicine Master Clinician — one of five faculty members who are sought out by patients, peers, and trainees for their diagnostic reasoning, clinical skills, and desire to acquire and share new knowledge, as well as their ability to provide compassionate, equitable care to all patients.
Here is a highlight from Hope's nomination:
“Dr. Rugo is renowned for her patient care: she develops deep and personal longitudinal relationships with patients and their families, is known to respond to her patients’ requests at all hours of the day and night, involves them in the decision-making process, and never hesitates to go the extra mile to provide them the time and attentive care they need whether as an outpatient or when they are hospitalized for complications.”
