Brett Jagger, MD, PhD and Jason Burnham, MD, 2nd year fellows, each received a Knowlton Incentive Award for Excellence from the Barnes Jewish Foundation on October 17.

The Knowlton Incentive for Excellence Award program recognizes resident physicians who have demonstrated the ability to balance exceptional, compassionate care with a commitment to being leaders in the science of internal medicine. These residents embody the Knowlton Spirit. Since 1985, nearly 160 select physicians have received this prestigious award and have carried the Knowlton Spirit with them throughout their medical careers.
