LEXINGTON, Ky. (April 23, 2021) – We are inching ever closer to a return to normal with each scheduled COVID-19 vaccine appointment at the University of Kentucky Kroger Field clinic.

As each person walks through the line of tents at Kroger Field, checks in and winds their way up to their vaccination station, you can’t help but wonder, what’s their reason? Why are they choosing to be vaccinated?

Dr. Vincent L. Sorrell, the Anthony N. DeMaria professor of Medicine and the director of Advanced Cardiovascular Imaging at UK Gill Heart & Vascular Institute, will become editor-in-chief of CASE, an international cardiovascular imaging case reports journal.

The Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine congratulates Dr. Alison Woodworth on her election to President of the American Association of Clinical Chemistry (AACC) Academy beginning in August, 2021. The AACC Academy is a distinguished division of the AACC consisting of the academically and scientifically engaged members of the organization.

The COVID-19 pandemic may have forced a delay in awarding academic honors for the 2019-20 Academic Convocation, but it did not diminish the accomplishments of UK College of Medicine faculty, residents, and students during that challenging academic year. An announcement of award winners in medical education, released in April 2021, included three UK Department of Surgery faculty and a general surgery resident.
