BUSINESS AWARDS
The North American Primary Care Research Group (NAPCRG) has named a Wright State University Boonshoft School of Medicine professor one of two recipients of its Distinguished Research Mentor Award.
■ NAPCRG, a multidisciplinary organization for primary care researchers, will recognize Marjorie Bowman, M.D., M.P.A., professor of family medicine and professor of population and public health, with the award on Nov. 10 during its annual meeting in Chicago. The Distinguished Research Mentor Award acknowledges outstanding mentorship of a NAPCRG member over the course of his or her career.
Bowman’s first opportunity to become a research mentor came with her first full-time faculty position at Georgetown University. She mentored students, who worked on her research. Then, at Wake Forest University, where she was a department chair, she started a research fellowship and mentored other family physicians.
She started a second family medicine research fellowship at the University of Pennsylvania and is now leading a new Health Resources & Services Administration (HRSA)-funded Primary Care Transformation Fellowship at Wright State.
In addition, Bowman is involved with day-to-day research mentoring. She attends student and resident research presentation meetings, including national and international meetings. She asks the students and residents questions, provides suggestions and ideas and meets with them, if possi- ble, to review their plans or thoughts.
