http://www.cincinnatichildrens.org Mentoring Achievement Award Jorge A. Bezerra, MD Director of Research, Division of Pediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology, and Nutrition Director, Pediatric Liver Care Center and Digestive Disease Research Development Center Professor of Pediatrics Few physician-scientists at Cincinnati Children's have demonstrated as much passion for mentoring others as Jorge Bezerra, MD. Beyond his own impressive body of research, Bezerra has provided direct mentoring, career guidance, early stage grant review and useful feedback to dozens of faculty members, fellows and graduate students. His grant annotations and diagrams for trainees are legendary. Bezerra is sought after because he knows what it takes to be successful and is selfless in his mentoring. Of 35 mentees he has helped since 1995, five have become assistant professors, nine are associate professors, two are professors and one is a chair of pediatrics. Many more of our faculty have benefited from Bezerra's service on scholarship oversight and ad hoc advisory committees. In his roles with the Digestive Health Center and the Trustee and Procter Scholar (TAPS) program, Bezerra advances opportunities for young investigators and provides valuable feedback to grant applicants. In addition, he regularly serves as a scientific mentor to summer students and other trainees.
