A 2016 UK College of Medicine graduate was awarded second place in the annual scholarship competition of the International Congress of Surgeons, (ICS), United States Section, over a weekend in early June.

In December 1968, a widowed mother from Knoxville, Tennessee, arrived with her two sons, daughter and nephew at the University of Kentucky's pediatric clinic.

The four children were afflicted with severe intellectual impairment, presenting at the clinic with IQs of 10 or lower. The children showed normal development at birth, but during the first year of life experienced neurological deficiencies that rendered them unable to speak or walk. In the second and third years of life, the children were stricken with intense epileptic seizures.

The University of Kentucky’s Division of Plastic Surgery retained possession of the coveted Glancy Cup for a second consecutive year and for the third time in four years, when Dr. William North, a fifth-year resident, was named winner of the prestigious Glancy Award at the 59^th annual scientific meeting of the Southeastern Society of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons (SESPRS).

The Glancy Award recognizes residents for excellence in Plastic Surgery research.
