Dr. Duncan and Dr. Rasnake Honored for Exemplary Service during the COVID-19 Pandemic

Paul J. Hauptman, MD, Dean of the University of Tennessee Graduate School of Medicine, honored Lisa Duncan, MD, Chair of Pathology, and Mark Rasnake, MD, Associate Professor of Medicine, with Exemplary Service Recognition Awards. These honors were bestowed in recognition of exemplary service to the UTGSM and The University of Tennessee Medical Center community during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

Dr. Duncan continues to lead the effort to evaluate and disseminate diagnostics, a rapidly evolving and challenging area of the medical center's response to the crisis. She has worked tirelessly to inform faculty, residents and team members of best practices.

Dr. Rasnake serves as campus leader in the development of a comprehensive clinical response to the crisis and is always available to counsel, troubleshoot and creatively devise strategies to protect our patients, faculty, residents and staff.

Dean Hauptman said, "Both leaders approach their work with focus, kindness and true equanimity of spirit. Along with the entire medical community, I am deeply grateful for their contributions."
