The George Marina Memorial Award for Excellence in Teaching

In 1979, the Residents in the Department of Radiology at Brigham and Women’s Hospital established the George Marina Memorial Award to recognize one BWH Radiology faculty member each year for their exceptional contributions to Radiology Resident Education. The Award is bestowed annually, typically at the time of the graduation of senior residents.

The Award was inspired by the life and accomplishments of George Marina, MD, a BWH Radiology Resident from 1976 until his untimely death in 1979. George was an inspiring person. The son of Cuban refugees, he established himself as an outstanding medical professional and fell in love with the field of Radiology. In 1976, BWH Radiology (at that time named Peter Bent Brigham Hospital Radiology) introduced its class of four residents, including Drs. Marina, Jack Katz, Eric Mellencamp and Steven Seltzer. George quickly distinguished himself as a future leader in our field, with a passion for medical education. He became the Chief Resident in Radiology in 1978.

Tragically, Dr Marina died suddenly and unexpectedly in 1979 from a cardiovascular event, leaving behind a wife Judy and a young child. To memorialize his spirit, accomplishments and unclaimed potential, our Department established an annual Award in George’s name. The Award is given to the ‘Teacher of the Year’ on the BWH Radiology Faculty and the recipient is selected solely by our Radiology Residents. The Award is a fitting memorial to Dr Marina and fitting recognition of our appreciation for the great teachers in our midst.
