The PACES award recognizes individuals who have gone “above and beyond” in delivering the practical component to the MRCP(UK) Examination, during the COVID-19 pandemic.

He led a team of physicians, nurses and paramedics from the front lines during the pandemic after “senior faculty members disappeared,” according to The News.

At the Becker's 23rd Annual Spine, Orthopedic and Pain Management-Driven ASC + The Future of Spine Conference, taking place June 11-13 in Chicago, spine surgeons, orthopedic leaders and ASC executives will come together to explore minimally invasive techniques, ASC growth strategies and innovations shaping the future of outpatient spine care.
