TAFP President wins TMA award

Troy Fiesinger, TAFP’s 2012-2013 president, was selected by members of the Texas Medical Association Resident and Fellow Section as this year’s recipient of the J.T. “Lamar” McNew Award. Fiesinger received the award during the opening session of the TMA House of Delegates meeting at the TexMed conference, May 17, 2013, in San Antonio.

Winners of the J.T. “Lamar” McNew Award must be TMA members who have provided outstanding service to TMA’s Resident and Fellow Section. The award was created in 2002 to honor Dr. McNew for his work with medical students, residents, and young physicians and for his “guiding influence in developing the internal moral core essential for the practice of medicine,” according to TMA.
