This prestigious award recognizes 10 outstanding Texas professors each year for their superior teaching.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTo me (and many others) Dr. Adams has been a role model and mentor in all fronts at UT Health San Antonio. For more than two decades, she has been a fantastic clinician, researcher and educator. But perhaps more importantly, she has consistently and dependently demonstrated incredible empathy and compassion to patients, families, learners and colleagues alike. She is a great listener and sincerely understands the importance of great communication in the medical field. I strongly believe that she embodies the core characteristics of integrity, excellence, compassion, altruism, respect, empathy and service at the highest possible level,\u201d said\u00a0<strong><em>Diego Maselli Caceres, MD<\/em><\/strong>, professor and chair of the department of pulmonary disease in the\u00a0Joe R. and Teresa Lozano Long School of Medicine\u00a0at UT Health San Antonio.<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Adams earned her medical degree from UT Health San Antonio in 1994, she then completed her residency and fellowship in internal medicine, pulmonary disease and critical care. Adam&#8217;s earned a Master of Science in Clinical Investigation in 2003.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTeaching allows me to spread seeds of my personal wisdom, experience, empathy and skills to patients, students and healthcare professionals throughout the world. Educating others, particularly in a \u201ctrain-the-trainer\u201d manner, provides opportunities to broaden my reach and positively impact an exponential number of lives of both learners and patients,\u201d said Adams.<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Adams dedication to teaching has been recognized with numerous awards, including the Regent&#8217;s Outstanding Teaching Award from the University of Texas System and the Distinguished Scholar Award in Respiratory Health from the American College of Chest Physicians (CHEST) foundation.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The University of Texas Health Science Center a San Antonio (UT Health San Antonio) proudly announces that Sandra G.
