Doctor of the Year

 

The Doctor of the Year Award is presented annually to a physician member of GCS who has demonstrated the highest ideals of our profession: excellence and commitment to medicine, loyalty to our Alma Mater, and dedication to the Society. The 2017 DOY Award was presented to Dr. Nancy Ripp Clark. Dr. Ripp Clark has been an indefatigable supporter of the Society for many years, helping to bring in new members, supporting the auction, recruiting speakers, and in general promoting the mission of the Society.

 

Dr. Ripp Clark received the "Igni" statuette, conceived and created by Dr. Saeed Marefat, past president of GCS (2013-14). The "Igni" is named after St. Ignatius of Loyola, who founded the Society of Jesus in 1539. Ignatian Spirituality serves as the guiding principle for the work of the Jesuits and Georgetown University. The St. Ignatius Chapel is located at the Georgetown School of Medicine in the southwest wing on the first floor.
