Follies, the Broadway-like variety show featuring musical numbers, choreographed dance routines, and plenty of slapstick comedy, is an annual rite for GW’s School of Medicine and Health Sciences students looking to blow off some steam as the end of the spring semester approaches.
Midway through the songs and dances, and comedy sketches and videos, students took a moment to celebrate those professors who had made a big impact on their medical education, by presenting them with Golden Apples for their outstanding service. In addition to each class of medical students joining in the event, for the first time, physical therapy (PT) and Physician Assistant (PA) students took part in the festivities.
First-year students honored Ron Bohn, Ph.D., associate professor of anatomy and cell biology; second-year students honored David Diemert, M.D., associate professor of microbiology, immunology, and tropical medicine; third-year students selected Charles Macri, M.D., professor of obstetrics and gynecology, and fourth-year students recognized Jim Scott, M.D., professor of emergency medicine, and of health policy, bringing Scott’s Golden Apple total to 14. PT students honored Ellen Costello, Ph.D., associate director for the program in physical therapy and associate professor of physical therapy and health care sciences; and Glenn Walker, Ph.D., professor of biochemistry and molecular medicine, was presented his award by PA students.
