Dr. Jennifer Kawwass has received the ACOG 2020 Mentor of the Year. She was nominated by Dr. Tess Kim, a former Emory University School of Medicine student (now a resident at Beth Israel). The award is given on behalf of the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists and the Junior Fellow College Advisory Council recognizes the contributions and commitment to mentorship to young ACOG members. Congratulations on your recognition and well deserved.
Last year, Dr. Tess Kim shared her appreciation for the mentorship she received here @emorygynob, she shared, “I knew nothing about research before working with them and now I want to make research a priority for my future career. They set high expectations for me while being incredibly supportive and encouraging. They continue to go above and beyond for me, advocating for me during the residency interview process and writing recommendations for my global health trips. There are so many ways I look up to them on an academic, clinical, and personal level.”
