Dr. Quan-Yang Duh was presented with the prestigious Oliver Cope Meritorious Achievement Award. This award is given to a member of the AAES in recognition for contributions in the field of endocrine surgery as an investigator, teacher, and clinical surgeon. It is not an annual award but is only given to members of the Association who have achieved the high standards for which the award was established. The Cope Award was first given in 1985 and since only 10 members have been awarded this honor. Read more about the history of the Oliver Cope Meritorious Achievement Award.
