out the best in those who studied, trained, and worked at HMS. Each
year, HMS faculty members, house officers, fellows, and students
nominate mentors who have provided sponsorship and supported personal
and professional development. A selection committee, with representatives
from HMS and its affiliated hospitals, carefully reviews all nominees'
mentoring qualities and chooses the award recipients.
