Dr. Steven Gabbe '69, the senior vice president for health sciences at Ohio State University and emeritus CEO of OSU Wexner Medical Center, has been awarded the Weill Cornell Medical College Alumni Association Award of Distinction.

Established in 1949, the annual accolade recognizes a Weill Cornell alum who has demonstrated outstanding achievement in research, education or patient care, and has brought acclaim to the medical college. Dr. Gabbe received the award at the Alumni Award of Distinction dinner on May 27.

"It was an incredibly meaningful surprise winning this award, especially when I think of all the Weill Cornell alums that I've known and worked with over the years who are so accomplished and have done so much," said Dr. Gabbe, who is also a professor of obstetrics and gynecology at Ohio State University.

Dr. Gabbe is one of the world's leading experts on the complications of diabetes and pregnancy. He has helped define the glucose treatment protocols for pregnant women with type 1 diabetes. He was also involved in an international study funded by the National Institutes of Health that led to new diagnostic criteria for gestational diabetes. The study was devoted to defining the criteria for fetal risk associated with maternal glucose levels and pregnancy.

Dr. Gabbe served on the faculty of six universities: the University of Southern California, University of Colorado, University of Pennsylvania and the University of Washington. He spent nine years as the chair of Ohio State University's Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology. He was also dean of the Vanderbilt University School of Medicine for seven years, and is currently a member of the Institute of Medicine and senior editor of Obstetrics: Normal and Problem Pregnancies, a leading obstetrics textbook.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to determine the prevalence of burnout in chairs of academic departments of obstetrics and gynecology, identify important stressors, and develop strategies to treat and prevent burnout.

Study design: We performed a cross-sectional study of 131 chairs in the United States and Puerto Rico. We used a 6-part questionnaire focusing on demographics, potential stressors, satisfaction with personal and professional life, self-efficacy, burnout as measured by the Maslach Burnout Inventory-Human Services Survey (MBI-HSS), and support from the spouse/partner and family. Statistical analyses were performed with the chi(2) test for categorical variables and t test or analysis of variance for continuous variables.

Conclusion: Burnout in chairs of obstetrics and gynecology is characterized by a high level of emotional exhaustion, moderate-high depersonalization, and high personal accomplishment. These findings should be used to develop programs to improve the psychologic well-being of our academic leaders.

He also has done research on prenatal diagnosis using ultrasound, the assessment of fetal well-being, premature labor, and other complications of childbirth. He is known among his clinical staff for his skill and compassion in caring for patients planning or carrying potentially difficult pregnancies.

He is the senior editor of Obstetrics: Normal and Problem Pregnancies, a major textbook now in its third edition.
