Nov. 22 — Southern California clinic honors physician assistant student with award
Haley Martin, a second-year physician assistant (P.A.) student from the Betty Irene Moore School of Nursing at UC Davis, was awarded the Master Clinician and Teacher of the Year Award from the Cardiovascular Institute in Southern California. Physician Uri Ben-Zur said the award was created in honor of his father, Naim Ben-Zur, who founded the institute in 1996. Haley is one of only a handful of students to receive the award in the past 30 years, he said. Haley is currently completing a clinical rotation at the institute. Uri Ben-Zur said her performance was exceptional. “She takes extra time to educate new students who are following in her footsteps,” he said. “Despite her full plate, she has offered to write a case study about one of the more challenging cases of refractory pericarditis I’ve seen in my career.”
