	A Westside Welcome New endocrinologist joins center team William M. Howell, M.D., joined the Westside Center’s medical staff as an endocrinologist/diabetologist in June. Dr. Howell received his medical degree from the Georgetown University School of Medicine before proceeding to Mercy Hospital in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania to perform his internship in general surgery. He then moved to Los Angeles, where he worked with USC physicians during his residency in internal medicine at LAC+USC Medical Center. Dr. Howell then completed a fellowship in metabolism/endocrinology at the VA Medical Center in Seattle. Recognized for achievement throughout his medical career, Dr. Howell has received numerous honors. In 1992, he was elected to the prestigious Alpha Omega Alpha Honors Society. The next year, Georgetown University School of Medicine bestowed him with the Max Kerwin Pathology Award. An assistant professor of clinical medicine at the Keck School of Medicine of USC, Dr. Howell serves on the Ambulatory Curriculum Committee of the Department of Medicine, as well as on the Keck School’s Physician Wellness Committee. He also serves on the Ethics Committee at LAC+USC Medical Center. Dr. Howell is married and has two children. We are excited to have him on board.
