The 2019 Lewis Levy Award Recipients

A huge congratulations to Razaz Mageid and Tova Gardin, our 2019 Lewis Levy Award recipients. The Lewis Levy Award was established in 2003 to support the education and training of neurology residents in their first year (PGY-2) of training. This year the entire PGY-2 class prepared high-quality case submissions, which were judged anonymously by a 5-member faculty panel. The faculty were most impressed with the cases submitted by both Tova and Razaz. Their excellent cases were presented at a special clinical grand rounds in June.

Congrats again, Razaz and Tova, keep up the great work!
