Department of Medicine Presents Scherr Awards
It’s a rite of spring at North Shore University Hospital (NSUH): the presentation
of awards to interns, residents and fellows who have put forth significant time
and effort in the pursuit of knowledge. The awards have been presented for 24
years, but for the last five years they have been named in honor of Lawrence
Scherr, MD, MACP, NSUH’s former chair of medicine and the North Shore-LIJ
Health System’s academic dean emeritus and historian. The Lawrence Scherr,
MD, MACP, Scholarly Activity Awards were presented May 3 at NSUH’s Rust
Auditorium. From left are: Andrew Yacht, MD, associate dean for general medical

Live on “Dr. Oz Show”
Eight New York State licensed medical technologists were chosen from
North Shore-LIJ Laboratories and the Monter Cancer Center Laboratory
to perform129 fingerstick high-sensitivity CRP tests on members of
the studio audience. The testing of Dr. Oz himself was executed by
Rosemary Frederick, manager of point of care testing, pictured here
with the doctor. North Shore-LIJ Labs’ dedicated, knowledgeable
and well-prepared team performed a valuable service in terms of
increasing awareness of this test, not just for the studio audience but
for the thousands of people watching at home.
