Sona Jasani, a fourth-year medical student at Robert Wood Johnson Medical School (RWJMS), earned the Innovation in Clinical Medical Student Education Award at the 2012 Annual Retreat of the Northeast Group on Education Affairs (NEGEA). She presented an abstract titled “Utilizing Visual Art to Enhance the Clinical Observation Skills of Medical Students” along with Norma Saks, EdD, assistant dean for educational programs at RWJMS.

Both students will be granted diplomas with Distinction in Medical Education designations upon graduation in May.
