The Deterling Award
The Deterling Award of the New England Society for Vascular Surgery was established to stimulate and encourage original investigation in vascular disease conducted by vascular fellows, surgical residents or medical students.
It is named in honor of Ralph A. Deterling, Jr., MD (1917-1992), the second president of the NESVS, who contributed much to the formation of this Society. Dr. Deterling served as Professor of Surgery and Chairman of the Department of Surgery at Tufts University School of Medicine and Surgeon-in-Chief of the New England Medical Center. This award was established in his name in recognition of the high regard his trainees, colleagues and members of the Society held for him.
The Deterling Award is presented annually in recognition of the most outstanding original research paper presented by a fellow, resident or medical student at the Society’s annual meeting. The paper selected for the Deterling Award is also selected to represent the New England Society for Vascular Surgery at the annual meeting of the Society for Vascular Surgery, for presentation during the “best of the regionals” session. Work considered for the Deterling Award may be either in basic science or clinical research. Recipients currently receive an award of $1000 and a certificate of recognition.
The Darling Award
The Darling Award of the New England Society for Vascular Surgery was established to stimulate and recognize excellence in clinical research on vascular disease conducted by a fellow, resident or medical student.
The award was established in 1998 in honor of R. Clement Darling, Jr., MD (1927-1999), a founding member and eighth president of the NESVS. Dr. Darling was a native New Englander who served for over 35 years as a vascular surgeon and teacher at the Massachusetts General Hospital. The award celebrates Dr. Darling’s lasting contributions to patient care, surgical education and the NESVS.
The Darling Award is presented annually at the Society’s annual scientific meeting. Consideration is limited to original clinical research on vascular disease. Selection is made after the papers under consideration have been presented and the Deterling Award has been chosen. Recipients currently receive an award of $1000 and a certificate of recognition.
