The American Society of Clinical Investigation (ASCI) is a nonprofit medical honor society founded in 1908, and is one of the nation’s oldest medical honor societies composed of more than 3,000 physician-scientists representing all medical specialties. The Society is dedicated to the advancement of research that extends understanding of diseases and improves treatment, and members are committed to mentoring future generations of physician-scientists.
Each year, the ASCI Council considers membership nominations of several hundred physician-scientists — aged 50 years or younger — and recommends up to 100 candidates for election based on outstanding scholarly achievement. Election is a milestone in the physician-scientist career path. This year, Dr. Angela Hirbe was elected into the ASCI based on her outstanding research and clinical care in oncology and NF1.
Congratulations on your accomplishment, Dr. Hirbe!
