Student Prizes
We are grateful for the opportunity to award two separate student prizes this year. The first is the Shirley Bach award, which commemorates work in bioethics done by: (1) undergraduate students; (2) graduate students (in any field); and (3) medical students. We will confer one award in each category. The second is our inaugural Health Equity Student Research Prize, which will be awarded to a student (in any category) who makes a substantial contribution in this area. All awards will carry cash prizes, and all student submissions will be considered for them.
