Dickson Prize
The Dickson Prize in Medicine and the Dickson Prize in Science were both established in 1969 by Joseph Z. Dickson and Agnes Fischer Dickson.
Dickson Prize in Medicine
[edit]The Dickson Prize in Medicine is awarded annually by the University of Pittsburgh and recognizes US citizens who have made "significant, progressive contributions" to medicine.[1] The award includes $50,000, a bronze medal, and the Dickson Prize Lecture.[2]
