Department of Orthopaedic Surgery PGY-3 resident Yvonne Conway, M.D., was named the 2020 UAB Emergency Medicine (EM) Resident Consultant of the year at the UAB Department of Emergency Medicine resident graduation.

Conway was selected for this award in recognition of her commitment and assistance to the physicians and patients in the UAB Department of Emergency Medicine and was honored for her contributions to the department during the virtual graduation for EM residents, alongside this year’s outgoing EM residents and annual departmental award winners.

Managing a high-volume, tertiary care emergency department involves the expertise of many specialists, so the core UAB value of collaboration is always welcome. Award recipients demonstrate the ability to thrive in a collaborative environment that is inherently fast-paced and stressful while also showing dedication to patients and commitment to resident education.

“We would like to recognize you for your hard work, your unwavering professionalism, and your collegiality. Your commitment to our patients, our medical center, and our community is greatly appreciated,” said Department of Emergency Medicine Residency Program Director Charles Khoury, M.D., MSHA of the award recipients.
