The John F. O’Connor Award is given to the candidate or faculty member who has contributed the most to teaching psychodynamic concepts to medical students. It was established to commemorate Dr. O’Connor’s dedication to teaching medical students at Presbyterian Hospital and to reward those who are assuring psychoanalysis a secure future by teaching and serving as role models to aspiring physicians. The Director has been charged to appoint a faculty committee to select the recipient of the annual John F. O’Connor Award, which will be presented at the New Candidates Party in September. The award carries an honorarium.
