“A good reputation comes from what you do every day.” Catherine N. Hinterbuchner, M.D. Catherine N. Hinterbuchner, M.D., led the Department of Rehabilitation Medicine at NYMC—as the College’s first female chair—and was chief of rehabilitation medicine at both Metropolitan and Lincoln Hospitals in New York City for nearly 40 years. At Metropolitan, Dr. Hinterbuchner was the hospital’s first chief of rehabilitation medicine, and the College’s first residency program director in the specialty. She was also the first woman elected to the American Board of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation and the first appointed to the Residency Review Committee of the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education. Dr. Hinterbuchner received her M.D. from the University of Athens. After completing a residency in internal medicine and pursuing additional training in rehabilitation medicine at Kingsbrook Jewish Medical Center and Metropolitan Hospital, she joined the faculty at Downstate Medical Center as an instructor in rehabilitation medicine. In 1964 she returned to NYMC and by 1971 had been appointed Chair of the Department of Rehabilitation Medicine. In 2005, Dr. Hinterbuchner became professor emerita of rehabilitation medicine. The endowment she provided the institution continues to support the ongoing educational and research missions of the department. |
