UCSF Endocrine surgeon Quan-Yang Duh, M.D. was awarded the Oliver Cope Meritorious Achievement Award from the American Association of Endocrine Surgeons (AAES). The ceremony took place at the organization's annual meeting on April 7, 2019. The Cope award is highest honor given by the AAES and has been awarded only nine times in its history.
The award was presented to Dr. Duh by another luminary in the field, Orlo Clark, M.D., professor emeritus of surgery at UCSF, and widely recognized as the father of endocrine surgery. Clark was introduced by UCSF endocrine surgeon Wen T. Shen, M.D., M.A. Clark, himself a former Cope Award recipient, served as a mentor to Dr. Duh.
UCSF is the only institution to have two of its members receive the Cope Award, a truly remarkable distinction.
