William P. Argy, M.D.

1934 - 1997

William P. Argy, M.D. (C '56, M '60) dedicated his career to teaching Medicine at Georgetown. He was a “triple Hoya,” graduating from Georgetown Prep, Georgetown University (College), and Georgetown University School of Medicine.

Dr. Argy was an Internist and Nephrologist, and held the title of acting Division Chief of Nephrology before becoming the Director of Student Education and Clerkship Director in the Department of Medicine. He served as Clerkship Director from 1984 until his death in 1997, and throughout that time, taught and guided hundreds of Georgetown medical students as well as residents and fellows. Dr. Argy's counseling and mentorship influenced many students at the School of Medicine to pursue careers in Internal Medicine, and his dedication to student education was unparalleled.

The Department of Medicine now honors Dr. Argy with end of the year commemorative awards, and the Teaching elective for senior Medicine Residents is known as the "Argy elective."
