As an enduring legacy in training, he has led the effort at the Stanford School of Medicine to establish the Stanford 25, where residents and students are taught techniques and skills to recognize the basic phenotypic expressions of disease that manifest as abnormal physical signs. among his many awards, in 2016 he received the National Humanities Medal from President Obama and the National Endowment for the Arts.He is a graduate of Madras Medical School (India), earned a Masters in Fine Arts at the Iowa Writers Workshop at the University of Iowa, and is a designated Master, American College of Physicians.
