PanARMENIAN.Net - Richard Babayan, MD, was honored recently by the
Armenian American Health Professional Organization (AAHPO) for his
exceptional contributions to medicine in both the United States and
in Armenia, News-Medical.net reported.
The award was presented by Dr. Aram Chobanian, former dean
of Boston University School of Medicine (BUSM) and president of
Boston University. Babayan serves as a professor and chairman of the
department of urology at BUSM and chief of urology at Boston Medical
