 Bennett Lorber, M.D. 

Bennett Lorber is an acclaimed teacher and internationally-renowned infectious disease specialist. He holds the Thomas Durant Chair in Medicine at the Temple University School of Medicine and served as that school's Chief of Infectious Diseases from 1983 to 2006. He has received many awards and honors for the excellence of his teaching and the quality of his clinical work. His major research interests are in (1) human listeriosis, an area in which he is regarded as an international authority, (2) the impact of societal changes on infectious disease patterns, and (3) the relationship between infectious agents and chronic illness. Many of his students have themselves become outstanding teachers. As a clinical practitioner he is recognized for providing exceptional service to patients, the profession, and the community at large.

“Some physicians may excel in scholarship, education or clinical prowess, or in two of these three attributes. Bennett excels in all three, and has sustained his excellence over his entire career, accompanied by continuing recognition of his peers and students alike.” (Richard J. Kozera, MD, FACP, executive associate dean in the Temple University School of Medicine.) source: temple.edu temple times 1/8/07
