UNC Medical Student Wins Bean Student Research AwardFor the third time in four years, a UNC medical student has won the William B. Bean Student Research Award from the American Osler Society. This year Chris Dibble, currently a third-year MD/PhD student, took the honors for his proposal entitled "Osler and Trudeau: The North American Campaign Against Tuberculosis." Chris last year also won the inaugural McLendon-Thomas Award in the History of Medicine sponsored by the Bullitt History of Medicine Club for earlier research on Dr. Edward Livingston Trudeau [1848-1915], and presented his essay at a Bullitt Club lecture in November 2008. Previous winners of the Bean Award are James Fraser in 2008 and Lee Hampton in 2006. James’ project title was "Molding an Independent Specialty: Plastic Surgery in Postwar America, 1919-1941" and Lee’s was "Albert Sabin and the Western Hemisphere Polio Eradication Campaign." Both students gave earlier versions of their research at Bullitt Club lectures.
