未来博士

An OUWB medical student recently received the inaugural Paul Misch M.D. 未来博士 Award for her work during a clerkship at Corewell Health Beaumont Troy Hospital.

Nikki Haggerty, M4, received the recognition on Nov. 17, during the hospital’s medical staff meeting.

The award was presented by Srikala Yedavally, D.O., 助理教授, Department of Family Medicine and 社区 Health, and clerkship director for Family Medicine Undergraduate Medical Education. 

“This is a wonderful thing that we’re able to do…recognize the contributions that our medical students make to our hospitals and to our offices,”她说。.

“诚信, 同情, and a commitment to being the best that you could possibly be…Nikki, 这就是我们在你身上看到的,耶德瓦利说. “These are the qualities emerging in you as a developing physician.”

在颁奖典礼之前, Haggerty — who plans to specialize in psychiatry — said she felt “more than honored.”

她说:“我很震惊，也很谦卑。. “I know how much work all my fellow classmates put in, and I know many people that deserve this award. I’m just more than excited to be representing everyone at OUWB by being here.”

‘Comprehensive, 对我们的病人给予富有同情心的照顾’

Yedevally said the award is specifically for OUWB students who have their family medicine and/or OB clerkships at Troy, which accounts for slightly more than half of all OUWB students. The remaining students participate in clerkships at Corewell Health Beaumont Grosse Pointe Hospital.

Clerkship directors will be in charge of selecting future recipients, 就像他们对待哈格蒂一样. Going forward, the award is expected to be given twice a year.

The award’s origins trace back to Joseph Love, M.D., president of the medical staff at Corewell Health Beaumont Troy Hospital.

 Love said there was one big reason for creating the award.

“We saw some stars coming through and really wanted to give them (recognition) because we had a good feeling about them,他说.

Vashali Bhargava, m.s.D., 助理教授 in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, and OB clerkship director at Corewell Health Beaumont Troy Hospital, explained the qualities recipients possess.

“The purpose of this award is to recognize outstanding performance by our M3 students and further encourage the pursuit of knowledge,”她说。. “The recipients of this award demonstrate the ability to integrate medical knowledge, 热情, 善良, and 同情 to ultimately enhance the care delivered to our patients.”

With that background, Love said it made sense to name such an award after Paul Misch, M.D.

“令人兴奋和谦卑”

Misch worked in the hospital for nearly 40 years. Prior to what he calls a “semi-retirement” in 2001, Misch also served as founding chair of the Department of Family Medicine and 社区 Health, had a significant role in establishing OUWB as a member of the school’s planning team, 并担任OUWB执行委员会主席.

Yedevally said Misch “exemplified what every physician should be, 哪是提供全面, 对我们的病人给予富有同情心的照顾.”

“We want to see those qualities embodied in OUWB students, 不管他们的专业是什么,”她说。.

现在住在印第安纳州, Misch traveled to Troy to attend the meeting where the award named in his honor was presented.

“Teaching and watching our future doctors grow and succeed is something that means a lot to me,他说. “To have this award that focuses on that, and is named after me, is exciting and humbling.”

Misch also said he’s proud of OUWB’s continued evolution, as reflected in students like Haggerty.

“Our students are highly respected wherever they go, 他们对顶级住院医师很有吸引力, 他们在住院医生实习期表现很好,他说. “OUWB is doing a great jo training our future doctors.”
