Dr. James Turner Receives NSU
Distinguished Alumni Award
On November 14, NSU saluted
16 outstanding graduates at the
Distinguished Alumni Achievement
Awards reception at Grande Oaks
Golf Club in Davie, Florida, includ-
ing 1988 NSU-COM alumnus James
M. Turner D.O., FACOFP, FACOEP.
The Distinguished Alumni
Achievement Award is the highest
and most prestigious honor NSU
bestows upon its graduates. The
program recognizes alumni who are changing lives and the world by demonstrating dis-
tinguished service and extraordinary achievement in a particular profession, discipline,
organization, or community cause. “The true measure of a university’s greatness can be
found in the achievements of its alumni,” said George L. Hanbury II, Ph.D., NSU presi-
dent and chief executive officer.
In early 2013, Dr. Turner was appointed dean of William Carey College of Osteopath-
ic Medicine after having served as interim dean and associate dean—the first NSU-COM
graduate to be named dean of an osteopathic medical school. After graduating from
NSU-COM in 1988, he completed his residency in emergency medicine from Mount Sinai
Medical Center in Miami, Florida. He received his Fellow designation from the American
College of Osteopathic Family Physicians in 1998 and the American College of Osteo-
pathic Emergency Medicine in 2008.
Dr. Turner, who has worked as an osteopathic family physician and emergency physi-
cian in Tennessee, Florida, South Carolina, and West Virginia, is married to Sherry Turner,
D.O.—a 2007 NSU-COM alumnus. He currently serves on the American College of Osteo-
pathic Emergency Medicine’s Board of Directors and is an inspector of osteopathic medical
colleges and emergency medicine residencies for the American Osteopathic Association.
