Recent UNMC MD\/PhD program graduate Brandon Lew, MD, PhD, was honored by the UNMC Department of Psychiatry with the Frank Menolascino Outstanding Student in Psychiatry Award.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This award is given each year to a graduating medical student based on interest in the field of psychiatry. Students must show excellent clinical skills demonstrated during the psychiatry clerkship, commitment to caring for those with mental illness and demonstration of leadership among their peers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
