Introducing ROBERT ZARING, MD, MMM PRESIDENT – GREATER LOUISVILLE MEDICAL SOCIETY 2017-2018 Sherry Zaring Bramer T hough success is measured in many different ways, I have always considered my brother to be successful. His personal achievements have always been accom- plished with hard work and integrity. Integrity is the quality that has made Rob stand above the crowd in so many aspects of his life, and his choice of profession, medicine, was a natural fit for him. It is indeed a profession that requires knowledge, continuing education, discretion, hard work, personal sacrifice and of course, integrity. His scholastic prowess was evident at Immaculate Conception Elementary School, blossomed at Trinity High School, grew at Bellarmine University, where he graduated Summa Cum Laude, and triumphed at the University of Louisville School of Medicine where he also graduated Summa Cum Laude. Integrity and hard work have always allowed him to meet or exceed his personal goals. Rob’s continuing education at Carnegie Mellon University, where he received a Masters of Medical Management, and Mor- sani School of Medicine University of South Florida, where he is almost finished with his Masters of Science in Health Informatics, is affirmation of his belief that the practice of medicine is con- tinuing to grow and change in every aspect and he is working to continue to grow and change right along with it. As there are several years’ difference in our ages, my brother, Todd, and I had the perspective of younger siblings watching Rob become the man he is today. We observed how he treated our par- ents, always with kindness and respect. We loved when his friends were at our house because there were such a variety of person- alities, opinions and intensities. What was true about Rob then remains the same today: he cares. He holds himself to the highest standards and certainly worked hard to reach his personal goals. Todd and I not only observed his dedication, but truly admired it. To say our family is proud of him is really an understatement. We JUNE 2017 17
