Program Overview

The Dr. Carolyn McCue Award for Woman Cardiologist of the Year is a program of the VCU Pauley Heart Center, made possible by a grant from the McCue Family. The award honors the late Carolyn Moore McCue, MD, who was a national pioneer in pediatric cardiology, practiced at the Medical College of Virginia (now VCU Medical Center) for 42 years and was the first woman elected president of the 187-year-old Richmond Academy of Medicine. Dr. McCue created and chaired MCV’s Pediatric Cardiology Division for 20 years, during which she also was instrumental in establishing pediatric cardiology clinics in medically underserved communities throughout Virginia.

The McCue Award is open to woman cardiologists, pediatric cardiologists or cardiac surgeons who are currently practicing in the United States. The award will be granted to a woman cardiologist who has made significant contributions to the field of cardiovascular medicine through exceptional clinical care, research or teaching and is recognized by her peers for her dedication, leadership and professionalism.
