Arnold Melnick Child Advocacy Award Presented to Medical Professor
Second-year student NSU College of Osteopathic Medicine (COM) student Brittany Stutzman; William J. Bruno, M.D., COM professor; and Edward Packer, D.O., FAAP, FACOP, chair of the COM Department of Pediatrics.
On Oct. 17, the Pediatric Club at Nova Southeastern University’s College of Osteopathic Medicine recognized William E. Bruno, Jr. M.D. with the Arnold Melnick Child Advocacy Award for his local contributions to the field of pediatrics.
Bruno was a pediatrician for nearly 29 years at Pediatric Associates before becoming the Pediatric Medical Director at Memorial Integrated Health. Bruno has also worked very closely with the Broward County Pediatric Society first as the secretary and vice president and currently as the president-elect. In addition, Bruno is a faculty member at the University of Miami’s Miller School of Medicine, as well as NSU’s College of Osteopathic Medicine (COM). He is a very influential pediatrician as well as a teacher and mentor to the many students whose lives he has touched over the years. The Arnold Melnick Child Advocacy award for which he is being recognized was named after the founding dean of the COM. The award was established by the COM Pediatric Club and is presented each year to recognize individuals in South Florida who promote children’s causes.
