The House Staff Organization Professionalism Excellence (HOPE) Award was created in 2011 to honor our Emory residents and fellows who demonstrate exceptional professionalism in working with patients and colleagues. The goal of this annual award is to recognize those Emory residents and fellows who excel in collaborating with colleagues across different departments. These are the people you particularly enjoy working with and find extremely helpful when caring for your patients. Winners will be announced at the end of the academic year.
