CRS “Ideal Physician” Award

With nominations generated from the fourth-year class, this prestigious award, which carries a cash prize, is presented to a member of the graduating class who possesses those intangible qualities of common sense, knowledge, thoughtfulness, personal warmth, gentleness and confidence that combine to make the “ideal physician” ... the person fellow classmates would most like to have as their personal physician.
