Henry J. Bakst Awardee
Each year, the Henry J. Bakst Award is given to a medical student (or students) who has completed their Geriatrics Rotation here at BU. Students must receive a grade of “honors” in their rotation to be eligible. Awardees are chosen by faculty of the Geriatrics Section based on their qualities of personal commitment to individuals in need of care, social awareness, and excellence in clinical medicine as exemplified by Henry J. Bakst, MD., former Dean of the Boston University School of Medicine and Director of the Home Medical Service.
This year’s award recipient: Madeleine Morrison
Madeleine is graduating this year and will be completing her residency here at Boston Medical Center!
“Maddy is truly dedicated to the care of older adults. She has a deep interest in geriatrics and showed outstanding engagement on the 4th year clerkship as well as on the geriatrics service as a 3rd year student. Maddy is a geriatrics superstar! ”
Congratulations Maddy!
