The Howard Rosen Table Instructor of the Year for 2001

In 2000, AO North America established an annual award in memory of our great friend and colleague, Howard Rosen. Because Howard was so dedicated to instructing during the practical work laboratories at AO Courses, we felt it appropriate to create an annual "Table Instructor of the Year" award in his honor. Chairmen of all 2001 AO orthopaedic trauma courses were asked to nominate a table instructor who epitomizes Howard Rosen’s tireless and enthusiastic teaching efforts in the labs.

The 2001 recipient of this award is M. L. "Chip" Routt, Professor of Orthopaedics at the University of Washington School of Medicine, who did an outstanding job teaching at several AO Courses last year. Dr. Routt will be invited as a faculty member to the 2002 AO Courses in Davos, Switzerland, in December. We thank Chip for his enthusiastic dedication to teaching in the spirit of Howard Rosen, and congratulate him on this well deserved award.

Professor M.I. Routt, M.D.
