EAU CLAIRE, Wis. — Dr. Macaulay Onuigbo has been promoted to associate professor of medicine in the College of Medicine at Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn.
Onuigbo is vice chairman of Luther Midelfort’s Nephrology Department. Nephrology is the branch of medicine concerned with the kidneys. Onuigbo also is a transplant physician and hypertension specialist.
“This honor is the culmination of my dreams of being a professor at the world-renowned Mayo Clinic,” said Onuigbo, who also will continue to see patients at Luther Midelfort.
Onuigbo’s contributions to the different fields of nephrology, transplantation medicine and hypertension, include published articles with his wife, Nnonyelum Onuigbo, on late onset renal failure from angiotensin blockade and related findings. Their reports in many international journals have continued over the past few years to garner increasing recognition, appreciation and acknowledgement among the academic community.
