During National APP Week (September 22-29) the UNC APP Center hosted a gathering and dinner to celebrate all of the amazing APPs employed across UNC! During this event each year they announce the nominations and winners of the APP Excellence Awards. These awards currently recognize excellence in clinical practice, teaching, leadership, and unsung hero categories with plans to expand in the future. With over 650 APPs employed across UNC and approximately 75 nominations it is truly an honor to be nominated for these awards that highlight the exceptional work and dedication exemplified by the APPs in their daily work.

In the Neurology Department we had 6 nominations this year and would like to formally congratulate each individual nominee and winners.
