In keeping with his vision, the Becker Medal recognizes a recently graduated medical toxicology fellow who has demonstrated outstanding achievement in scholarship, education, and/or research, and who has made contributions to public health, innovation, humanitarianism, and/or “making a positive difference in the world.”
