LONDON, United Kingdom, Jan 17 (Bernama-GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — SNOMED International recently presented its Award for Excellence and Lifetime Achievement Award at its Awards Gala held in conjunction with the SNOMED CT Expo 2019 hosted in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia last October. Award recipients are nominated from among the community to recognize exceptional contributors to the evolution and ongoing guardianship of SNOMED CT.
The Award for Excellence is given for outstanding contribution to the improvement of SNOMED CT and its successful implementation in health and social care. In 2019, this award was presented to Dr. Mark Jurkovich. Mark’s commitment to SNOMED CT’s Dentistry Clinical Reference Group and its Special Interest Group predecessor, has made it among the most productive and successful of its kind. First established as an element of an American Dental Association cooperation agreement signed in 2012, Mark was appointed Chair and has continued to play a leadership role since that time.
