The ISMA recognized the achievements and passion for medicine displayed by two outstanding graduating medical students with its annual Future Physician Leader Awards.
In separate awards ceremonies at the Indiana University School of Medicine (IUSM) and Marian University’s Tom and Julie Wood College of Osteopathic Medicine (MU-WCOM), ISMA leaders honored Sydney Clark and Karly Eichenauer for the commitment to patients and medicine they have demonstrated during their academic careers.
Clark is the outgoing president of the Medical Student Society at IU. She previously served as vice president and as a delegate and an alternate delegate at the AMA Annual Meeting. Clark will begin her residency in interventional radiology this fall at the University of North Carolina.
Eichenauer will be a second-generation physician. She volunteered multiple times for medical practicum trips to Central America with professors and medical professionals during her time at Marian and as an undergraduate at Manchester University. She will continue her training this fall with the start of her residency in family medicine at Franciscan Health in Indianapolis.
The Future Physician Leader Award was established at MU-WCOM in 2017. The IUSM award followed in 2021. The awards are given to a student in each program who has shown a positive vision for organized medicine and enthusiastically contributes to that vision.
