American Board of Internal Medicine, the American Board of
Psychiatry and Neurology in Psychiatry with Added Qualifications
in Psychosomatic Medicine, and by the American Society of
Addiction Medicine. He is a member of Alpha Omega Alpha, a
Distinguished Life Fellow of the American Psychiatric

in both psychiatry and internal medicine, and since 1995 he has

America‖ in psychiatry for the past several years.

Dr. Canterbury joined the School of Medicine faculty in
1984 in the Departments of Internal Medicine and Psychiatry.
For 14 years, he taught the second year medical school course in
psychiatric medicine and taught a medical interviewing course to
internal medicine residents. He also was the founding
director of the University’s Institute for Substance Abuse
Studies and served in that capacity until 1994. He served as
chair of the Department of Psychiatric Medicine for 12 years.
He has served as principal investigator on many grants from the
National Institutes of Health (NIH) and from the U.S. Department
of Education, including federal funding for curriculum
development, implementation, and evaluation. While his clinical
work in his early years was in addiction medicine, today his
clinical focus is on patients with mood and anxiety disorders,
particularly brain stimulation techniques. After leaving the
role of department chair, Dr. Canterbury joined the Dean’s
Office as the Associate Dean for Admissions. During his tenure
in that role, the School of Medicine enjoyed a dramatic increase
both in the academic credentials and diversity of enrolling
students. Over a period of several years, Dr. Canterbury
oversaw the building of the Claude Moore Medical Education
Building and the development and implementation of the Next
Generation Curriculum for the School of Medicine.
Michael D. Moxley, M.D.
Michael D. Moxley, M.D., is an Associate Professor in the

Dr. Moxley obtained his undergraduate and medical school
degrees at the University of Virginia. His hometown is
Louisville, Kentucky. Dr. Moxley completed his residency at the
University of Rochester’s Strong Memorial Hospital, in
Rochester, New York. After spending three years as an attending
physician at St. Agnes Hospital in Baltimore, serving the
underserved populations, he took a faculty position at
Georgetown. He then came full circle back to U.Va. as Assistant
Professor of OB/GYN and eventually Assistant Dean before
becoming Associate Dean in the School of Medicine. As part of
Dr. Moxley’s faculty responsibilities, he is Associate Residency
Director and is involved in the Ryan White Clinic. In his role
in the Dean’s Office, Dr. Moxley directs the University’s Summer
2
Medical and Dental Education Program for disadvantaged students.
Dr. Moxley is trained in General Obstetrics and Gynecology, with
interests including hysteroscopy, HIV disease, and minimally
invasive surgery.
In 1997, Dr. Moxley became certified by the American Board
of Obstetrics and Gynecology and since then has attained
numerous honors and achievements. In 2003, he received the
Excellence in Teaching Award presented by the Association of
Professors of Obstetrics and Gynecology and the Department of
Obstetrics and Gynecology at Georgetown University School of
Medicine. In 2009 and 2010 he was recognized as one of
America’s Best Doctors. He graduated from the APGO Academic
Scholars and Leaders Program of the APGO/CREOG Program
Director’s School in 2010. He received the Excellence in
Teaching Award presented by the Association of Professors of
Obstetrics and Gynecology at the University of Virginia School
of Medicine in 2011 and in 2012 was named one of America’s Top
Obstetricians and Gynecologists. Currently, he is a Liaison for
the ACOG Committee on Professional Liability.
Furthermore, Dr. Moxley serves as a mentor to pre-med
students and provides advice to groups such, as the Daniel Hale
Williams Pre-Med Society and the combined SNMA/DHW/Minority
Nursing Student Group that coordinates the CHS Medical Sciences
Club. He also helped to establish the National Medical
Association Chapter at U.Va. The Health System Diversity
Consortium, established in 2013, grew out of the School of
Medicine Diversity Task Force under Dr. Moxley’s leadership.
The Diversity Consortium meets on a monthly basis addressing
issues of recruitment, retention, and environment for diverse
populations in the Health System including students, residents,
faculty, and staff.
