Leadership Spotlight
WELL's monthly Leadership Spotlight aims to celebrate individuals across the Department of Medicine who make a difference through everyday leadership. Leadership is not limited to formal roles, and eligibility is open to all levels of staff, faculty, and trainees who exhibit leadership through mentorship, collaboration, inclusion, or support for team well-being. Submit a nomination.
Dr. Bimal Ashar, interim director and professor in the Division of General Internal Medicine, is our September Leadership Spotlight recipient.
Here’s what colleagues had to say about him:
- “Dr. Ashar has stepped up to the challenge of being a leader who is able to project realistic optimism, gratitude, encouragement, and also transparency during uncertain times.”
- “I have also witnessed how he quietly cares about what some may consider the 'little things,' such as taking extra effort to personally ensure that staff and faculty were able to receive a token of appreciation during the holidays or ensuring he attends and supports our faculty and staff during national conferences.”
- “Dr. Ashar's impact is wide-ranging, from the support, sponsorship, and mentorship he provides to junior faculty to the efforts he takes to enhance community across the Division. I am also struck by how many people outside the Division know of him specifically because of his leadership and also willingness to meet and explore and support clinical initiatives that elevated GIM.”
