Linda L. Blank

Linda Blank has extensive experience in the world of academic medicine, most recently with a particular focus on professionalism.

During 2006-2007, Ms. Blank was a Robert G. Petersdorf Scholar-in-Residence at the Association of American Medical Colleges, where she conducted a comprehensive project involving a spectrum of academic medical centers to determine what professionalism means to faculty and students and the factors inherent in transforming their institutional culture accordingly.

In conjunction with her previous work to develop and advance the widely-endorsed international physician charter on medical professionalism, she was elected as an Honorary Fellow of the European Federation of Internal Medicine (2005) and Honorary Fellow of the Arnold P. Gold Foundation Humanism Honor Society (2004). She also  received the AAMC Special Recognition Award (2004). For earlier contributions to improving graduate medical education and promoting organizational collaboration within the internal medicine community, she was honored with the distinguished Loveland Award of the American College of Physicians (2001), the Dema C. Daley Founders Award of the Association of Program Directors in Internal Medicine (1997) and the Special Recognition Award of the Association of Professors of Medicine (1997).

She enjoyed a highly productive 25 year career with the American Board of Internal Medicine and concluded her tenure as Senior Vice President, ABIM Foundation in late 2005.
