Joseph T. Ferrucci Jr Radiologist of the Year Award

An award was created in 2024 to honor Professor Joseph T. Ferrucci, MD. He is the former Division Chief of Gastrointestinal Radiology at Massachusetts General Hospital and Chair of the Departments of Radiology at Boston Medical Center and the University of Massachusetts Chan Medical School. For more than 15 years at UMass Joe has never shied away from any departmental need. He is always available to help colleagues, clear the “unread” x-ray lists, or ensure that the Wellesley office is running smoothly. To honor his numerous contributions to both the field of Radiology and specifically to the Department of Radiology at UMASS Chan, the Joseph T. Ferrucci Jr. Radiologist of the Year is created.

Ryan Tai, MD - The first ever recipient of the Joseph T. Ferrucci Radiologist of the Year award, Dr. Tai epitomizes the spirit of the award and its namesake through his selfless dedication, expert clinical skill, and brilliant teaching. 

The award was presented following the Edward Smith Lecture.
