Dr. Grossman came to Roswell Park after 20 years at the Upstate Medical Center, Syracuse, NY, where he was Professor of Radiology and had been both Director of Radiological Sciences and Program Director of the Diagnostic Radiology Residency. Dr. Grossman’s Fellowship in Nuclear Medicine was at this same institution, and previously he had been Instructor in Radiology at The Johns Hopkins University, Radiology Resident and Chief Resident at the Sinai Hospital of Baltimore, and Fellow in Medicine at Johns Hopkins.
The author of over 100 scientific papers and exhibits, and winner of Gold and Silver medals from the Society of Nuclear Medicine, Dr. Grossman was also the recipient of the President’s Award for Excellence and the Chancellor’s Award for Excellence, from the State University of New York. He originated and authored four editions of Cost-Effective Diagnostic Imaging: The Clinicians’ Guide, Mosby/Elsevier, most recently June, 2006, and is the first co-author of Clinical Radioimmunoimaging, Mosby.
Dr. Grossman was the youngest Full Professor of Radiology in the history of the State University of New York and was winner of the E. Robert Heitzman award for excellence in teaching Radiology. As an Associate Professor at SUNY Syracuse, he was Principal Investigator of the largest single NIH ROI grant awarded to a radiologist up until that time.
He divides his time at Roswell Park between Diagnostic Radiology, Nuclear Medicine, and Administration. He has served multiple terms on the Governing Board of the Clinical Practice Plan, and has chaired the Radiation Safety Committee since 1994.
Under Dr. Grossman’s tenure the Department of Radiology has grown from four full-time radiologists in 1994 to twenty-one.
