Dr. Adam Nguyen, a PGY4 UTMB dermatology resident, received the Department of Dermatology nomination for the UTMB 2020 Outstanding Resident of the Year. Nominations for this honor were made by UTMB dermatology residents who provided information about how their nominee met the award criteria determined by the UTMB Graduate Medical Education Committee. All nominees were reviewed by the dermatology faculty for the final selection. Dr. Nguyen distinguished himself as the Chief Dermatology Resident for Medical Student Education during the 2019-2020 academic year. With a record number of rotating students from other institutions, as well as our 4 own internal applicants, he devoted considerable time and effort organizing their lecture and clinic schedules. It was fitting that UTMB MS4s recognized him with their annual award for Excellent Dermatology Teaching by a Dermatology Resident. Thank you Dr. Nguyen for improving the academic and clinical experiences for medical students this year!
