Cecil J. Watson Award
The Cecil J. Watson Award is given each year for the most outstanding research by a physician in graduate clinical training in any clinical department of the Medical School, including Laboratory Medicine & Pathology. The Minneapolis Society of Internal Medicine and other friends of Dr. Cecil J. Watson established the award in 1961. One or more $2,500 awards will be presented.

- Research submitted for consideration must have been conducted at the University of Minnesota Medical School and the project described must exhibit scientific originality and creativity.
