The winner will receive a monetary award.

In honoring the achievements of AMWA’s resident members, we honor Dr. Ivey’s dedication to the welfare and success of all women physicians in training. Dr. Ivey’s work and commitment to AMWA is a celebration of what women can achieve and contribute to others. Dr. Ivey was the 2006 – 2007 AMWA National Physician President whose courage led AMWA through financially difficult times. Dr. Ivey has stayed on as vital mentor to AMWA students and residents. As an active advocate for women’s health issues, her work and accolades speak for themselves. We are extremely proud of her accomplishments and acknowledge that without the struggle of women like her, our careers as young women physicians would not be possible.
