He founded the Center for Virtual Care at Weill Cornell, a nationally recognized model for telemedicine training. He also developed “Doctoring in the Digital Age,” a curriculum that equips medical trainees with the skills needed to deliver high-quality virtual care.
“What distinguishes Sharma as a leader is his relentless commitment to improving healthcare, using the most innovative methods available to reach patients and to train clinicians to advance physician leadership, especially in academic medicine,” said Robert A. Harrington, dean of Weill Cornell Medicine.
A nationally recognized innovator, Sharma has been named a Top 25 Innovator by Modern Healthcare and a Notable in Healthcare by Crain’s New York Business. He has also received national teaching awards from the Emergency Medicine Residents’ Association and the American College of Emergency Physicians.
The Roger Schenke Award, named after AAPL’s founder, is presented annually to individuals who demonstrate excellence in advancing leadership and management education in healthcare. With over 10,000 physician members globally, AAPL is a leading organization focused on empowering physicians through leadership development.
