Award Winners for the 2019/2020 Academic Year

The Department of Anesthesiology, Perioperative, and Pain Medicine Residency Program Committee is excited to announce the award winners for the 2019/2020 academic year. We would usually be presenting these awards at our Department’s annual Awards & Graduation Dinner but sadly that won’t be possible this year.

I want to thank each and every one of these physicians for their contribution to residency education. Our residency program is so much richer for their energy and work.

On a personal note, I think that the Extra Mile Award begins to only scratch the surface in recognition of the contributions that Dr. Reuben Eng has made to the Anesthesiology Residency Program. I want to thank him for the extraordinary, thoughtful work that he did during his term as Program Director.
