Each year, UTMB's AOA chapter selects 2 residents through a member run nomination and voting process. This year, Dr. Kristin Wolf was selected by student AOA members for going above and beyond demonstrating teaching, volunteerism, and mentoring. This nomination has also made her eligible for official AOA membership.
Here are some comments that were said about Dr. Wolf during the nomination and voting process:
"Dr. Wolf is one of the most kindhearted and intelligent residents I have ever met. She is the medical student coordinator for the dermatology department and is always willing to mentor any student that comes to her. She is constantly willing to teach and explain difficulty concepts in clinic, as well as stay late after hours to provide sage advice for applications. She has spent many hours after work reviewing personal statements and helping applicants be as competitive as possible. She is a true role model of the ideal resident, and a resident that I will strive to model my own behavior on in residency."
"Dr. Kristin Wolf has been a wonderful mentor to medical students. She is always willing to lend a helping hand, whether in clinic or after work for advice for applications. She genuinely cares about medical student education and success, and is a shining example of how a resident should be."
If you see Dr. Wolf before she completes dermatology residency at the end of this month, be sure to congratulate her on her achievement!
