The School of Health Professions has established a new award that is the highest student honor awarded by the school.
The Dean's Award for Excellence in Health Professions recognizes a graduating student who has demonstrated exceptional achievement across four domains that define excellence in the health professions: academic excellence, clinical performance, leadership and service, and professional identity and character.
Each department was invited to nominate one graduating student whose accomplishments reflect the highest ideals of their professions and the values of UTMB.
The recipient will have the opportunity to deliver the student address at SHP commencement. They will also receive recognition across multiple platforms and and $1,000 professional development stipend. We look forward to the announcement of the inaugural honoree at this year's commencement ceremony, Friday, Aug. 21!
