Latoya Hicks, DO, receives an Argus Award.

The University of Alabama at Birmingham presented Latoya Hicks, DO, with the 2024 "Best Community-Based Educator in Family Medicine" Argus Award.

Hicks is a family medicine physician working as the sole provider for the Buffalo Rock Company in Homewood. She also owns and operates "My Neighborhood Doc," providing primary and acute care in patients’ homes.

Created in 1996, the Argus Awards at the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) recognize faculty members for their contributions to medical education. Awarded through a nomination/selection process, medical students nominate and vote for the winners-- their mentors, professors, courses, and course directors.

Congratulations, Latoya! Latoya Hicks, DO, poses (far right) with a medical student (center) and Clerkship Director Sameera Davuluri, MD (far left).
