Meet our newest funder: The Bo Ryan Family Foundation
We are pleased to announce our newest funders, the Bo Ryan Family Foundation!
The Bo Ryan Family Foundation made a generous donation to the American Cancer Society to fund our Physician Training Award in Cancer Prevention (PTACP). This award funds one resident per year focusing on cancer prevention and control. The two-year program involves completion of the MPH, broad training in prevention medicine, and intensive practicum experiences involving the development of clinical, research and teaching skills relevant to a career in cancer prevention. Residents on this track have focused on a range of topics, including tobacco prevention and control, cancer screening and prevention, and cancer survivorship and quality of life.
This year’s PTACP residents are Lin Zhao and Sara Doyle.

Alumni Update: Dr. Bobby Redwood ‘16

Bobby has guided the 36,000 visit ED through three waves of COVID while tackling a number of initiatives related to his health systems track at the UW PMR. These include building an ED ultrasound program to decrease iodinizing radiation exposure in ED work-ups; spearheading a system-wide alternatives to opioids pain control initiative; and embarking on a $15 million renovation and expansion of the ED which will be one of the first of its kind to take into account patient flow in light of COVID-relevant infection control principles.
