On behalf of Dr. Paula McDowell, Chair of the ASCO Ethics Educators SIG, I am pleased to announce Negar Sohbati as the winner of the 2019 Student Award in Clinical Ethics. This annual national award provides the winner with a $1,000 award check and an acrylic engraved plaque.
Negar is a student at Illinois College of Optometry and is expected to graduate with her Doctor of Optometry degree next year. Her winning essay, “Optometrist as Mandatory Reporter: What is Our Obligation to Keep the Roads Safe for All?” will be featured in the Journal of Optometric Education.
Please join me in congratulating Negar and ICO.
