SPOTLIGHT

The Ross University School of Medicine (Ross
Med) community joins in celebrating Nick Paslidis,
MD ’88, PhD, FACP, MHCM, FABQAURP, who

will be named a Master of the American College of
Physicians (MACP) during an upcoming ceremony

at the end of April.

Considered one of the highest honors for internal

medicine physicians, ACP Masters are selected for
their integrity, positions of honor, impact in practice

or medical research, or other attainments in
science or in the art of medicine. Masters must be

highly accomplished persons demonstrating impact
in practice, leadership, medical research, and

maintain involvement with the ACP.

“There is a great satisfaction from the standpoint of being a physician, doing the

right thing and being recognized by my colleagues,” said Dr. Paslidis. “I have been
able to accomplish so much with determination and the opportunity I was given 35 years
ago when I started at Ross Med, through residency, research, and dedicating my career

and time to do the best I can do for my patients.”

Dr. Paslidis was named a Fellow of the ACP in 2018 and has been an ACP member for
the entirety of his medical journey dating back to his time as a student at Ross Med. Long

before he started studying to be a physician, he was inspired to pursue a career in
medicine thanks to his relationship with his mother and their family’s time living in Greece.

When he was a child, access to proper medicine and patient care was limited. He
remembers times when his mother was sick as the first memories that sparked an innate
sense of care and nurturement for others.
