Two TAFP resident members honored with AAFP award

Of the 12 recipients of this year’s AAFP Award for Excellence in Graduate Medical Education, two were Texas family medicine residents. William McCunniff, M.D., M.B.A., of the Waco Family Medicine Residency Program, and Zachary Taylor, M.D., of the Christus Santa Rosa Family Medicine Residency Program, were both honored with this year’s award, which is supported by a grant from Bristol-Myers Squibb.

The award recognizes the nation’s top residents for their leadership, civic involvement, exemplary patient care, and aptitude for and interest in the specialty of family medicine, according to AAFP. McCunniff and Taylor will accept their awards at AAFP’s Annual Assembly in Washington, D.C. in October.
