Honors and Awards
2017 Zoetis Distinguished Teacher Award, UC Davis School of Veterinary Medicine. Given to educators in recognition of their character and leadership qualities as well as their outstanding teaching abilities. Winners of the Distinguished Teacher Award are then evaluated annually to select the National Award winner.
2021 Fellow of the Orthopedic Research Society. ORS Fellows represent longstanding members of the ORS who have demonstrated exemplary service and leadership, substantial achievement, expert knowledge, and significant contributions to the ORS, its governance, and the field of musculoskeletal research. Fellows are thought leaders and experts in their respective disciplines.

Fellows also serve as role models in the ORS community and in the field of musculoskeletal research and exemplify the core values of the Society.
2022 Honorary Fellow of International Orthopedic Research (FIOR). Nominees have been selected to be recognized with the honorary status of Fellow of International Orthopaedic Research (FIOR) of the ICORS International College of Fellows. Nominees selected display a status of excellent professional standing and high achievements in the field of orthopaedic research. Nominees are recognized for their accomplishments and as role models among their peers.
