Dr. Tin Maung Oo

• Occupation: Medical director of the Howard County General Hospital Hospitalist program in Columbia
• Achievement: Oo, a native of Myanmar who most recently implemented a hospitalist program at St. Mary’s Hospital in Jefferson City, Mo., was selected as medical director of Howard Hospital’s hospitalist program. Hospitalists are physicians who specialize in the care of hospitalized patients and whose practice is in the hospital, not in an office. A hospitalist is assigned to care for a patient who doesn’t have a primary care physician.
