Tina Simpson, M.D., associate professor in the UAB Department of Pediatrics, received the American Medical Women’s Association (AMWA) 2017 Exceptional Mentor Award.

This award celebrates those who have made an impact on the lives of medical students and physicians in training, going above and beyond what is required, and actively reaching out to those around them to help guide students in their career paths.

“Over the years, I have had such influential mentors and take great pleasure in being able to provide similar encouragement and support to students and trainees,” Simpson said.

Dr. Simpson along with Marisa Marques, M.D., professor in the UAB Department of Pathology, will be presented their awards during the AMWA’s 102nd Anniversary Meeting on Saturday, April 1, in San Francisco, CA.
