Congratulations to John Frohna, MD, MPH, recently named one of the ACGME’s (Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education) 2009 Parker J. Palmer Courage to Teach Award recipients. The Parker J. Palmer award honors up to 10 residency program directors each year for their dedication to teaching new physicians. We also have the rare distinction of having two program directors at our institution win the award as Dave Allen was a past recipient.
