In the Spotlight: 2018 Bowman Scholars

The 41st Annual Bowman Dinner was celebrated in the Dome Room of the Rotunda on October 6. The five Bowman Scholars selected for 2018 were honored at the event: Amy Rose Law, Teresa Grace Martz, Ryan Thomas Sica, Anthony Jason Wiggins and Ellen Catherine Shaffrey, who was chosen as the 2018 Bowman Award recipient. Congratulations to all of this year’s honorees!

Each year since 1978, the Bowman Award has been presented to a fourth-year medical student at UVA who demonstrates the spirit and ideals with which Dick Bowman, MD ’74, impressed his fellow students, physicians, family and friends during his relatively short lifetime. Dr. Bowman died tragically in May 1977 as the result of a sailing accident in upstate New York.
