The inaugural Carolyn Ashworth, M.D. Pediatric Primary Care award, a newly created award named in honor of the wonderful Dr. Carolyn Ashworth, Division Director of General Pediatrics, was given last week to Thomas Tyner, M.D. pediatric resident, for his excellence in Pediatric Primary Care. 

This is a new award that will be given annually to a graduating resident by the Division of General Academic Pediatrics. The award is given in recognition of a graduating resident’s excellence in primary care pediatrics; in their provision and coordination of care to meet the patient's medical, social, emotional, and psychological needs which define high-quality, comprehensive care in the context of the family and society; and for a demonstrated commitment to life-long learning and advocacy.
