In
recognition of the lifetime accomplishments of George Bugbee and Isidore S.
Falk, M.D., AUPHA annually bestows the Bugbee Falk Book Award to a group of
outstanding students in its member programs. The book award is an
innovative way to support tomorrow’s leaders by providing them with works by
respected authors in the field. The Award rotates among full member programs. Each year seven are selected to give the award to a deserving student based on their own criteria.
The Bugbee-Falk Book Award Advisory Committee,
chaired by Carla Stebbins, PhD, chose a selection of titles that represent
major contributions to the field in a variety of areas. These books serve as a
symbol of academic success and commitment to excellence, and are intended to
launch the professional library of each recipient.
AUPHA is pleased to announce the following seven
recipients of the 2013 Bugbee Falk Book Award:
Amy
