The Department of Neurology is proud to celebrate national recognition from the American Academy of Neurology (AAN) honoring both a faculty leader and a rising physician‑scientist.
Dr. Monica Diaz has been named a recipient of the AAN Health Equity Award, a prestigious national honor recognizing her sustained leadership and impact in advancing health equity in neurology. This award acknowledges Dr. Diaz’s commitment to addressing disparities in neurological care and improving access and outcomes for historically underserved communities.
In addition, Dr. Thiri Lin, a neurology resident, has been awarded an AAN Resident Research Scholarship. This competitive scholarship supports resident‑led research endeavors and recognizes Dr. Lin’s dedication to advancing neurological research early in her career.
These achievements reflect the department’s strong commitment to excellence in clinical care, research, education, and health equity. Please join us in congratulating Dr. Diaz and Dr. Lin on these well‑deserved honors.
