Dr. Gregory W. Rutecki Elected Membership in 'The Leading Physicians of the World'

Dr. Gregory W. Rutecki, nephrologist and professor of internal medicine at the University of South Alabama College of Medicine, was recently elected membership in "The Leading Physicians of the World."

“The Leading Physicians of the World” began as a yearly publication, documenting the biographies of top doctors from around the world. Over time it has evolved into the largest international exclusive medical organization, representing first rate doctors in over 100 different medical specialties.

The research department for “The Leading Physicians of the World” nominates physicians based on data collected, taking into account education, medical affiliations, patient reviews, and medical/research contributions. The organization’s selection is very limited, nominating the top 1 percent to 2 percent in each specialty.

Dr. Rutecki joined the USA College of Medicine faculty in 2009. His medical career has included 12 years of nephrology private practice, followed by educational roles at Northeastern Ohio Universities College of Medicine, the Feinberg School of Medicine, Northwestern University, and the Ohio State University.

Dr. Rutecki earned his medical degree from the University of Illinois. He completed graduate training in internal medicine and nephrology at Ohio State University in Columbus, Ohio, and completed his renal fellowship at the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis, Minn.
