Department of Medicine Faculty Recognized at Reception
The Department of Medicine held its annual faculty awards reception at the Orangery Restaurant on December 11, 2007.
 Since the early 1980s, the Department of Medicine has had a yearly tradition of recognizing one teacher who deserves the accolade “excellent.” The medicine residents vote for their choice of this deserving faculty member. The 2007 London Award was presented to Richard L. Gibson, MD, Associate Professor. Dr. Gibson has been a faculty member since 2005 when he relocated to Knoxville after Hurricane Katrina. The London Award is named in memory of the late Frank London, MD. Dr. London was the founding member of the Knoxville Cardiovascular Group and Professor in the Department of Medicine where he served as Chief of Cardiovascular Medicine. Dr. London is remembered by his students as a faculty member who was accessible, dedicated, and thoughtfully knowledgeable with regard to treating the disease and the patient.
 The Richard A. Obenour, Jr. Award is presented annually to a deserving faculty member for steadfast commitment to education and teaching. The 2007 recipient of this award was Calvin M. Bard, MD, Assistant Professor of Medicine. Dr. Bard has been an active faculty member in the Department of Medicine since 1998 and served as Program Director of the Internal Medicine Residency Program from 2003-2007. The Richard A. Obenour, Jr. Award was established after the untimely death of the son of Dr. and Mrs. Richard A. Obenour. The Obenour family, friends, and coworkers generously donated to an endowment fund in Dick Obenour's memory. Since young Dick spent most of his life pursuing an education, Dr. Obenour thought it fitting to create an award dedicated to a faculty member who displayed a commitment to education through teaching residents and medical students.
Bukovsky and Caudle Receive UTRF Grant Award
The University of Tennessee Research Foundation (UTRF) has selected ten UT researchers or research teams to receive technology development grants for 2008. UTGSM's Antonin Bukovsky, PhD, Professor, and Michael R. Caudle, MD, Professor, Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, were selected for funding based on their fertility research entitled, "Oocytes Derived from Ovarian Culture Initially Containing No Oocytes." Grant funds will allow researchers to further develop or “mature” their technologies so that they are better positioned for licensing and commercialization.
Forty-two proposals were received from the four campuses and three institutes that make up the University of Tennessee. The 10 awards totaled $165,000. "This program is another initiative that supports the commitment of the University of Tennessee to become one of the premier research institutions in the country, as well as its commitment to drive technology-based economic development for the state of Tennessee," said Fred Tompkins, president of UTRF.

Wallace Studies Influence of Ethnicity on Medical Care
 Does race and ethnicity play a role in the quality of healthcare someone receives in the U.S.? According to research led by Lorraine S. Wallace, PhD, Associate Professor, Department of Family Medicine, they can. She led a team of researchers who conducted a study to understand how Hispanics and non-Hispanics reported interactions with healthcare providers and how demographic and socioeconomic characteristics impact interactions between Hispanics and their medical providers. The team's data, which appeared in the November 2007 issue of the Journal of General Internal Medicine, is one of only a few medical research projects directed at the Hispanic population. Their findings were surprising. One finding showed that Hispanics who had visited a healthcare provider in the previous 12 months reported more positively about the aspects of general communication with healthcare providers than non-Hispanics. Alternatively, Hispanics were less likely to report that their healthcare provider always gave them control over treatment options, as compared to non-Hispanics. For a copy of the full report, contact the Office of Communications and Outreach at 305-9190 or email Amanda Johnson.
