Local doctor gets prestigious teaching honor

Jeffrey D. Manning, MD, a physician and medical director of Sports Medicine Associates in Danielson, Connecticut, is among a select group of physicians honored by the American Academy of Family Physicians Foundation for his commitment to education in the field of family medicine. Manning, who grew up in West Harford and attended Hall High school, was selected to receive a 2012 Pfizer Teacher Development Award based on his scholastic achievement, leadership qualities and dedication to family medicine. 

"Pfizer Teacher Development Awards spotlight the best of our profession: those in active practice who give of themselves to teach, mentor, and inspire residents and students," said Mary Jo Welker, MD, AAFP foundation president.

In addition seeing patients at Sports Medicine Associates and Day Kimball's Walk-In Center in Plainfield, Connecticut, Manning is also a part-time instructor in the Department of Family Medicine at the Alpert Medical School of Brown University and The University of Massachusetts.

Manning graduated with a BA in psychology from Williams College and earned his medical degree from Penn State College of Medicine. He completed his residency in family medicine at Brown University and went on to complete a fellowship in sports medicine at the University of Massachusetts.

The Brown Department of Family Medicine will host a ceremony to honor Dr. Manning's achievement.

"I am honored to be recognized by the AAFP Foundation," said Manning."I enjoy educating students, residents and patients, as teaching is one of my favorite parts of being a physician."
