Congratulations to the Recipients of the 2024 William F. Streck Fellowship in Health Policy and Management
January 7, 2025
At the end of December, Bassett Healthcare Network announced three of its caregivers as recipients of the 2024 William F. Streck, MD Fellowship in Health Policy and Management: Nishant Gupta, MD, Senior Attending Physician in the Radiology Department; Laurel Graham Marling, Faculty Development Specialist in Medical Education; and Timur Otajonov, Internal Medicine Resident at Bassett Medical Center. This fellowship will allow these three caregivers to attend continuing medical education programs that will prepare them for future challenges in healthcare.
Dr. William Streck served as Bassett Healthcare Network's President and CEO for two stretches of its recent history: first from 1984 to 2014, and then again from 2018 to 2020. This namesake fellowship, created in 2014 to celebrate Dr. Streck's first 30-year tenure, provides non-degree educational and practical experiences for Bassett Healthcare Network medical, nursing, and administrative staff members. This endowment is an investment in Bassett's role as a leader in rural healthcare.
The award committee was pleased to have nine applicants for this year's fellowship.
- Dr. Nishant Gupta will take an online fast track International Coaching Federation credentialing program.
- Laurel Graham Marling will earn a Health Professions Education Certificate with a course from the University of Pennsylvania Graduate School of Education.
- Timur Otajonov will take an online program entitled "Innovations in Teamwork for Healthcare" with Harvard University.
Congratulations to all three recipients!
