Awards

The Lewis Levy Award was established in 2003 in order to support the education and training of neurology residents in their first year (PGY-2) of training. Each year, the award is given to residents who exemplify clinical excellence, personal integrity, and dedication to advancing the care of patients with neurological disease. Since 2019, the Lewis Levy Award has been given to the winners of case competition, and winning residents present their cases before the entire department at the annual Lewis Levy Clinical Grand Rounds in June.

This award is name in honor of Lewis Levy, MD, who unselfishly devoted a major portion of his professional career to supporting resident education at Yale.

The Gilbert Glaser Award is selected by the residents and is presented to the PGY-3 resident who has contributed the most to the residency team. It is named after Gilbert Glaser, MD, the founding Chair of the Department of Neurology at Yale. He is widely acknowledged as one of the founders of neurology as an independent discipline.

The Resident of the Year Award is presented to the senior (PGY-4) resident who is identified by the medical students in the neurology core clerkship as the most outstanding clinical teacher.

The Attending of the Year Award is selected by the residents and is presented to an attending who has demonstrated teaching excellence.
