Recognition Earned
Through a Career of Service
Recognition has come in different forms — from professional awards and academic honours to international invitations, pioneering surgical contributions, healthcare innovation and appreciation from patients and peers.
Recognition Takes Many Forms
A professional career is not measured only by certificates on a wall.
Some recognition comes as a formal award. Some comes from an institution, a professional community or an international organisation. Some takes the form of being invited to contribute, teach or represent one's field. And some comes from developing or introducing something that makes a difference to patients and healthcare professionals.
