Jacobson Wins Educator’s Award

Dr. Zhimon Jacobson, director of the Center for Implantology, last month was awarded the Morton L. Perel Annual Award for Dental Implant Educators by the International Congress of Oral Implantologists (ICOI).

The award recognizes those in the field who "initiate, perpetuate, advance, innovate, encourage, teach, and/or motivate both students and practitioners in the multifaceted discipline of oral implantology."

A formal announcement of the award will appear in the March 2006 issue of Implant Dentistry, the flagship journal of the ICOI. The award’s namesake, Dr. Morton L. Perel PROS 65 MSD 65, in 2004 received BUSDM’s Distinguished Alumni Award for Service to the Profession.
