In 1978, Dr. Ruskin founded the first cardiac arrhythmia service and clinical electrophysiology laboratory in New England and one of the first such services in the United States. As founder and director of the MGH Fellowship Program in Clinical Cardiac Electrophysiology, he has been responsible for the training of more than 120 fellows in cardiac electrophysiology, many of whom are leaders in the field. His research focuses on new technologies for catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation, mechanisms and prevention of ventricular arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death, risk stratification for sudden death, and cardiac safety issues in new drug and device development. He is an author of more than 450 scientific publications. Dr. Ruskin is the recipient of the 1997 Michel Mirowski Award for Excellence in Clinical Cardiology and Electrophysiology and the 2002 Heart Rhythm Society Pioneer in Pacing and Electrophysiology Award. He holds the Omran Alomran Endowed Chair in Cardiology at Massachusetts General Hospital. In 2017, the Jeremy Ruskin, MD and Dan Starks Endowed Chair in Cardiology was established at MGH in recognition of Dr. Ruskin’s pioneering contributions to the MGH and the field of clinical cardiac electrophysiology. In 2018, Dr. Ruskin received the William Silen Lifetime Achievement in Mentoring Award at Harvard Medical School.
