  • Clinical Science Educator of the Year, University of Arizona College of Medicine, 2005

A couple of notes:

  • The spreadsheet’s Professional Memberships field also included the ABO certification, which reads a bit more like a credential than a membership — I kept it in since it’s the only two items we’ve got, but flag if you’d rather move certifications elsewhere.
  • No Awards beyond the two listed, and no Procedures Performed/Conditions Treated content either, so I’d skip that section entirely on the page.
