GHEC's Board of Directors is soliciting nominations for the annual Chris Krogh Award,
established in 1995 to honor Christopher Krogh, MD, who was killed in an airplane accident
on February 24, 1994 while traveling as a physician for the Indian Health Service. Chris was a
founding member of GHEC (first established as IHMEC: International Health Medical Education
Consortium) and a member of the Board of Directors.
