Dr. Andrew Avery, winner of the 2014 Ho Din Award, and Edward Cary, III, the grandson of Dr. Edward H. Cary, who established the award in 1943.
Andrew Avery, MD, is just the second graduate in the history of UT Southwestern Medical School to win both the Ho Din Award and the Iatros Award. The Ho Din Award was instituted by Southwestern Medical Foundation in honor of Dr. E. H. Cary to recognize those who exemplify the unique personal qualities embodied in all great physicians – knowledge, understanding, and, most of all, compassion. Ho Din, which represents “the spirit of medical wisdom and human understanding,” has been a hallmark of excellence at UT Southwestern for more than 70 years and is the foremost honor bestowed on outstanding seniors. The Iatros Award, first presented in 1984, is sponsored by the UT Southwestern Medical School Alumni Association and is determined by a vote of the graduating medical class.
