Juan Echeverri is the recipient of this year’s Paddy Lewis Award for excellence in teaching at the University Health Network.

This annual award is named after Dr. Frederick Ira Lewis, who enrolled in Medical School at the University of Toronto in 1917 after being wounded at Vimy Ridge.

Dr. Lewis went on to become a respected surgeon and well-loved teacher for over 40 years.  His students called him “Uncle Paddy”.
