From time to time you will see us promote items on Neurosurgery Blog in order to spotlight some great things which are born out of the many individuals who work on behalf of organized neurosurgery. For our post today we would like to highlight that earlier this week, the American Medical Association awarded Katie O. Orrico, JD, director of the American Association of Neurological Surgeons (AANS) and Congress of Neurological Surgeons (CNS) Washington Office at the, with the Medical Executive Lifetime Achievement Award.
