GOLDEN AESCULAPIUS AWARDS
|
|
The Bexar County Medical
Society periodically honors chosen physicians who have given much to the
medical community in the form of lifetime service to organized medicine, or
have made other significant contributions to the practice of medicine. Dr.
Jayesh Shaw has asked that each of you consider and recommend BCMS physicians
whom you believe should be considered for one of these awards. Obviously, we
can’t give awards to everyone, but we would like to hear from you on who you
think should be considered and recognized for these awards and why.
Please send your
recommendations to the attention of Steve Fitzer (steve.fitzer@bcms.org) and Jayesh Shah,
MD (jshahaapi@gmail.com).
