Goldman Named First Holder of Mahoney Chair

Martin L. Goldman, M.D., Creighton University professor and chair of radiology, is the first holder of the Dr. Paul S. Mahoney Endowed Chair in Radiology and Medical Imaging. An inaugural ceremony was held Feb. 13.                   

Goldman joined the Creighton School of Medicine in 1999 as a professor and chairman of the Department of Radiology. At Creighton, he has helped build one of the region’s leading clinical programs in radiology, as well as a highly regarded radiology residency program. Creighton’s radiology residents scored in the top 5 percent in all of North America on national written board exams in diagnostic radiology in 2006 and 2007.

The Mahoney Endowed Chair is the ninth endowed chair in Creighton’s School of Medicine and the 31st at Creighton University. It is a gift from the estate of Paul S. Mahoney, M.D., a 1954 graduate of the school and a respected leader in radiology.
