HonorHealth physician earns one of internal medicine’s highest honors

Priya Radhakrishnan, MD, an internal medicine physician and HonorHealth’s chief academic officer, has been elected to Mastership in the American College of Physicians, one of the profession’s highest honors.

Mastership recognizes physicians who have made distinguished contributions to medicine through excellence in patient care, medical education, leadership, research and service to the profession. Dr. Radhakrishnan is one of 66 physicians elected to Mastership for 2026-27.

She also serves as vice dean for clinical affairs and graduate medical education at ASU’s John Shufeldt School of Medicine and Medical Engineering. Through her leadership at HonorHealth and ASU, she connects physician training with the needs of patients and communities, helping prepare future physicians to serve Arizona.

“This is such an amazing honor, and it makes me think of the patients, colleagues and mentors who have shaped my career,” said Dr. Radhakrishnan. “They have taught me to stay curious, listen carefully and keep the person at the center of every decision. Those lessons continue to guide me.”

Her career spans more than three decades in medicine, and she continues to care for patients alongside her academic and leadership responsibilities.
