M. Judah Folkman Memorial Awards

In honor of Dr. Judah Folkman and his legacy of leadership in our organization, the tremendous body of work he left behind and the way he selflessly shared his art of medicine with so many students and the art of healing with so many children and families.  The American Pediatric Surgical Association and the Association of Training Program Directors for Pediatric Surgery are proud to present the Judah Folkman Memorial Award for outstanding research presentations given during the APSA Annual Meeting.
