The following residents received the Fisher Award: Dr. Ana Laura Berm煤dez, Dr. Jared Nathanson, and Dr. Katie Doss.
Dr. Karen Kimel-Scott, associate professor in the division of general medicine, presented the Bryan Award to Dr. Mary Beth Koethe.
鈥淒r. James Bryan represents excellence in outpatient medicine and so we wanted to recognize excellence in one of our graduating residents, who has been outstanding in clinic, and I think the description of the award really captures her spirit,鈥� said Kimel-Scott. 鈥淭his award recognizes a resident whose performance in clinic embodies the example set by Dr. James Bryan, showing clinical excellence, positivity, fierce patient ownership, selflessness, and a sense of a higher purpose.鈥�
