In 1982, he was elected a member of the American Osler Society,[5] an organization of physicians and historians devoted to the celebration of the extraordinary humanistic, scientific, and bibliophilic achievements of Sir William Osler (1849-1919.) Goodrich often cited Osler as his role model.[citation needed] In 2018, he was awarded a Marquis Who's Who Lifetime Achievement Award.[6]

He has also received awards including the Mead-Johnson Award, the Roche Laboratories Award in Neuroscience and the Sir William Osler Medal. [7]
