New Lecture Series Honors Former Cambridge Health
Alliance Chief of Neurology
Cambridge, MA…On Wednesday, June 9, Cambridge Health Alliance
presented the inaugural Thomas H. Glick, MD, Lecture on Neurology,
featuring Dr. Martin Samuels, one of the leading neurologists in
the United States. The lecture series honors Dr. Thomas Glick, who
recently retired from his role as Chief of Neurology at Cambridge
Health Alliance.
Over a span of nearly 40 years, Dr. Glick forged a resonant and
memorable career, significantly impacting medical care in Cambridge
and its surrounding communities. After graduating from Harvard Medical
School and completing his residency at Massachusetts General Hospital,
he joined the Cambridge Hospital in 1972 as Chief of Neurology and,
two years later, was named Associate Director of the hospital's
Department of Medicine, a position he held for over 20 years.
In addition to establishing a reputation as one of the region's
leading neurologists, Dr. Glick exhibited a keen commitment to the
community, co-founding the Cambridge Medical Care Foundation, whose
mission is to improve the health of the people of Cambridge through
research, education, and service. He also acted as a consulting
neurologist at Massachusetts Institute of Technology Health Services
and Harvard University Health Services for more than 30 years.
An academic leader who is a professor emeritus of neurology at
Harvard Medical School, Dr. Glick received wide acclaim as an innovator
in medical education, including his contribution to the design of
Harvard's New Pathway neuroscience course in 1986. He published
numerous books and articles in the fields of neurology, medical
education, and quality improvement and consistently received "Best
Teacher" and "Best Mentor" accolades from medical
residents and interns.
Dr. Samuels, the featured guest speaker at the inaugural Thomas
H. Glick, MD, Lecture on Neurology, is Chairman of the Department
of Neurology at Brigham and Women's Hospital and professor of neurology
at Harvard Medical School. He delivered a presentation titled "How
Neurologists Think: What My Errors Have Taught Me." The event
was held at CHA's Cambridge Hospital campus.
