ARAM V. CHOBANIAN M.D.

I am grateful for Aram Chobanian's leadership and teaching.

Aram was a wonderful HMS classmate and a hugely distinguished member of the Boston medical community.

I am grateful for Aram Chobanian´s leadership and guidance.

Dr. Chobanian was the grandfather of a childhood friend and warmly invited my family and me to his home on multiple occasions. His and his wife's hospitality was unparalleled in my experience and forever left an impression on me. I was stunned when, at the end of dinner, he played one of his beautiful compositions for string quartet. He seemed as great a family man as an innovator. Asdvadz hokin lusavoreh.

My deepest condolences to the children, grandchildren and extended Chobanian family. May the fondest memories you hold of Dr. Chobanian linger on and bring you comfort, as you mourn his passing.

Aram V. Chobanian, MD: A reknown cardiologist yet unassuming. A brilliant researcher yet modest. Recognized internationally for his contributions to medicine and humanitarian causes yet unpretentious. A lifelong energetic learner whose breadth of interests included Arts and Sciences. Dr. Aram Chobanian was an invaluable asset to BU´s Chobanian Avedisian School of Medicine He will be remembered with gratitude for his esprit de corps. Elizabeth Dooling, MD

Words fail us to convey our sorrow losing a dear friend and mentor, great human being, trailblazer, a visionary and humanitarian. We will never forget him. The world is a better place because he lived. We are proud and very lucky to have known him. If it hadn´t been for Dr Aram´s encouragement I would have given up on my dream of becoming a doctor. He changed my life - as he did so many others. With our deepest sympathies to his family.

What a loss of our leader! Let us continue his legacy by following his example.

It was an honor getting to know him and work with him on the Alton Ochsner Smoking Award Committee. I true icon in medicine.
