Each year, UAFP recognizes an outstanding graduating medical student from each of our three medical schools in Utah who has matched into family medicine. All three of these accomplished future family medicine physicians have shown evidence of active student leadership in family medicine activities and demonstrated evidence of superior scholastic achievement in their medical school studies, particularly in the field of family medicine.

Congratulations to the following students:

• The Noorda College of Osteopathic Medicine Distinguished Family Medicine Scholar award was given to Hannah Berhow, who matched at Mayo Clinic Family Medicine Residency Program, Rochester, Minnesota.
• The Outstanding Senior Award at Rocky Vista University — Southern Utah Campus was given to Anson Nebeker, who has matched into family medicine at Utah Valley Family Medicine Residency here in Provo, Utah.
• At the University of Utah, the F. Marian Bishop Award was awarded to Spencer Barlow, who will be starting his residency with the University of Arizona/Banner Health Family Medicine Residency Program, Phoenix, Arizona.

UAFP also awards the Resident Leadership Award to recognize the accomplishments of one of our third-year family medicine residents in Utah. Nominations are sent in by residency faculty, peers and other residency staff. Those nominated needed to demonstrate promotion of family medicine, leadership skills and serving as a role model to peers. Additional consideration was given for teaching skills, professionalism, research skills and community service. The UAFP Member Engagement Committee voted on the final winner and chose Hendrik Stegall, MD, from the University of Utah Family Medicine Residency. Dr. Stegall’s nomination stated, “As chief resident responsible for the Wellness, Identity, Culture and Community Committee of our residency, Hendrik was tasked with leading monthly meetings and facilitating activities to support resident well-being. He went above and beyond the expectations for this role by applying for and being awarded a GME Wellness grant to better understand the culture of the residency. Through his leadership, he guided the residents and faculty through a project that created a better understanding of each group’s perspectives on professional well-being. This helped identify differences but also highlighted shared values.” We are thrilled that Dr. Stegall will be staying at the University of Utah Family Medicine Residency, joining the team as a faculty member!
