The Association of Pathology Chairs (APC) has awarded Andrea T. Deyrup, MD, PhD, a 2023 Michele Raible Distinguished Achievement Award in Undergraduate Medical Education (UME). Each awardee will be honored during a hybrid in-person and virtual awards lunch program at the APC 2023 Annual Meeting on July 16-19 in Chicago, IL.
The UME Distinguished Achievement Award honors pathology educators who demonstrate a range of contributions at local, regional, and national levels in undergraduate medical education. Nominations for the Awards were solicited from the APC chair membership and from the Undergraduate Medical Educators Section (UMEDS).
A large focus of Deyrup’s work has been to examine the questionable science supporting race-based associations in medical texts and board exams. After finding that the data were often inaccurate and misinterpreted, she has been building connections through presentations and a popular video series to end racialized medicine.
