The Kim Award

The Kim Award was established in 2002 by Edward Kim, MD, UCSF SOM alumnus, to promote the well-being, rejuvenation, and work-life balance of an Academy member. Every Academy member is eligible, and the only requirement is that the prize is to be used within a year of its receipt for something fun and not work-related. Members often come up with fun and creative ways to use the award.
