May 22, 2009

WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. – Christopher J. Godshall, M.D., a vascular surgeon at Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center, has been awarded the Brooks Scholarship in Academic Medicine.

The award is intended to recognize early-career faculty members who demonstrate exceptional promise as educational scholars and to protect faculty members’ time for the development of their scholarly talents. The Brooks Scholarship is endowed by Jean Bailey Brooks, M.D., a Wake Forest University School of Medicine alumna, and her late husband Taylor Brooks, M.D., to support junior faculty in both research and teaching.

Godshall is an assistant professor of vascular and endovascular surgery at Wake Forest Baptist. He has been with Wake Forest Baptist since 2008 and is certified by the American Board of Surgery in both General Surgery and Vascular Surgery. He received his medical degree from Temple University School of Medicine, Philadelphia, Pa., and completed his residency at University of Louisville in Kentucky and his fellowship at Washington University in St. Louis.

Godshall is currently enrolled in a Master’s program in Adult Education at Pennsylvania State University.
