Eric W. Peet Memorial Prize in Medical Ethics

The Eric W. Peet Memorial Prize in Medical Ethics is a prize established in 2010 and maintained by annual income from a donation by the late Dr Benjamin and Mrs Tamara Cohney in honour of Dr Cohney's illustrious mentor Eric W. Peet F.R.C.S., who trained in both ENT and plastic and reconstructive surgery. The prize is awarded to a current University of Queensland student enrolled full-time in the Doctor of Medicine program in their fourth and final year. Applicants must submit an essay of no more than 1000 words on an ethics topic in medicine, addressing their own experience of the importance of ethical principles and professional virtues. Selection is based on evidence of appropriate background reading, clarity of thoughts and observations, originality, and personal reflection.
