Dr. Roxanne Mitchell, an IMP graduate from the Class of 2016, has been awarded the “Kristin Sivertz Memorial Prize in Medicine in Psychiatry.”
The Memorial Prize, worth $1,700, has been endowed by the colleagues, friends and family of Dr. Kristin Sivertz in recognition of her many accomplishments as a psychiatrist, medical educator, and senior administrator with the UBC Faculty of Medicine for over 25 years.
This prestigious prize is offered to a third- or fourth-year MD student who embodies Dr. Sivertz’s many extraordinary personal qualities by demonstrating development of the core competencies of an exceptional physician early in medical training.
