UTMB professor Dr. Bernard Karnath has been awarded the prestigious Herbert S. Waxman Award for Outstanding Medical Student Educator by the American College of Physicians. Karnath, who has been teaching at UTMB since 1997, is the first physician-educator from Texas to receive the national distinction. “Dr. Karnath is an educational superhero, and there is no Kryptonite that can contain him,” said Dr. Steven Lieberman, UTMB’s vice dean for academic affairs. “He has an incredible level of dedication to students and education, and truly deserves this award.”
