The annual Dean’s Performance Awards honor employees whose work helps the UNC School of Medicine achieve its vision of becoming the nation’s leading public school of medicine. The awards span six categories aligned with the School of Medicine’s strategic plan, Forward Together: research, service, education, faculty, diversity and administrative infrastructure. This year, 55 nominees were considered for their extraordinary efforts.
Four nominees were from the Department of Medicine. Read a few comments from their recommenders to learn why they were nominated.
Dan Dalton, MS, RPh, Director of Hemophilia Treatment Center Pharmacy
Dan was recruited back to UNC in 2007 to set up a pharmacy dedicate to the provision of clotting factor concentrates for outpatient use for individual with hemophilia and other inherited bleeding disorders. Through the pharmacy program, Dan ensures access to individuals across the state, providing really high quality service. “I can think of no other individual who has contributed as much to the welfare of patients with inherited bleeding disorders in the past decade in North Carolina,” said his recommender.
Ashwini Roy-Chaudhury, MPH, Director of Clinical Research
Ashwini came to UNC 18 months ago to serve as director of clinical research for the department of medicine, and she has created a community and a voice for research coordinators. At a recent gathering coordinators expressed “for the first time we have someone who advocates for us, finds solutions for us, helps us learn, brings our concerns and suggestions forward.”
Delphine Bull, Business Officer, MHI and Biological & Genome Science
Delphine’s reputation and abilities are so good that she was asked to take over the miBio T32 program, which at the time was housed in another School of Medicine unit, simply because the PI knew that Delphi would be managing it. There is no higher praise for a business officer. She is beloved by all faculty and trainees for being easy to work with, competent, and trustworthy.
Tracy Stone, MHI Contract and Grants Facilitator
The knowledge that Tracy has after more than 10 years at UNC, with submissions, budgets, personnel, contracts, deadlines, on every type of grant cannot be matched. Tracy is committed, dedicated, conscientious, and incredibly hard working.
