NORFOLK, VA — EVMS Health Services physician Alfred Z. Abuhamad,

the country's top physicians for women.
Dr. Abuhamad was one of four obstetrician/ gynecologists cited by the
magazine in the southern region of the United States. Dr. Abuhamad is
the Mason C. Andrews Professor of Obstetrics and Gynecology and chairman

gynecology as well as maternal-fetal medicine.
Dean and Provost Gerald J. Pepe, Ph.D., called the recognition well-deserved.

dedication and commitment to excellence," Dean Pepe says. "EVMS and the
Hampton Roads community are fortunate to have him here."

country. This year, the magazine earned the No. 1 spot on Adweek's "Top
10 under 50" Hot List, which recognizes advertising growth and editorial
excellence. The magazine now has a circulation exceeding one million

Women's Health teamed up with the research firm Castle Connolly

identify exceptional doctors in four regions of the country.

Beirut. He continued his postgraduate training at the University of
Miami where he completed his residency training in obstetrics and
gynecology and his fellowship in maternal-fetal medicine. He also
