Dr Charles Lucas’ exemplary performance during his one-year internship at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital (QEH) has seen him being awarded Intern Of The Year 2010-2011.
At a Press conference in the QEH boardroom yesterday, Lucas said he was a little surprised, but humbled and honoured to have received the award.
He explained: “It was surprising because there were a lot of outstanding interns in my year, and they worked hard. To be recognized Intern Of The Year . . . it reflects the support that I got from my colleagues and other staff in the hospital. I have to thank my family for their support throughout that year.
“I also have to give thanks to God for sustaining me and carrying me through that period.”
QEH internship programme coordinator Dr Clyde Cave said Lucas embodied all of the characteristics, training and professional qualities of a young doctor, and that the hospital was pleased to have been a part of his professional development.
Three other 2010-2011 interns were conferred the title of Outstanding Intern for their diligent and dedicated performance during the period. They were Dr Sherry-Anne Lashley, Dr Kerriann Pereira and Dr Shabier St John. The young doctors received gifts.
