Poplack recognized for teaching excellence

Dr. David Poplack, professor of pediatric oncology at Baylor and director of the Global HOPE (Hematology-Oncology Pediatric Excellence) Program at Texas Children's Hospital, received the Excellence in Teaching Award from the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO). This award recognizes teaching as a vital part of cancer care and brings awareness to the need for teachers to train more oncologists for the future. The award underscores ASCO’s belief that teaching is as important to the future of cancer medicine as are research, care delivery and clinical work. The award will be presented during the ASCO Annual Meeting in June. Read more on ASCO Connection and the Texas Children's Hospital Newsroom.
