The Georgetown University Hospital Diabetic Limb Salvage Conference announces the Dr. Robert W. Hobson II Award for Best DLS Abstract Poster Presentation. Winners will receive: 1st Place $500, 2nd Place $300, 3rd Place $200.

The Award is named for the noted vascular surgeon, researcher and medical educator who passed away January 2, 2008. In a distinguished professional career that spanned more than four decades, Dr. Hobson made important and lasting contributions to vascular surgery and to limb salvage.

After receiving his medical degree from George Washington School of Medicine, Dr. Hobson completed the vascular fellowship at Walter Reed Army Hospital under Dr. Norman Rich. He served with the U.S. Army Special Forces during the Vietnam War and was retired from the U.S. Army Medical Reserve as a colonel. Best known for his many years as the Chief of Vascular Surgery at the University of Medicine and Dentistry at New Jersey Medical School, Dr. Hobson served as president of the major vascular societies including the SVS, EVS and SCVS. His major interests were cerebrovascular disease, the physiology of the microcirculation, and lower extremity revascularization. He edited five textbooks and authored more than 100 book chapters and 375 articles in professional journals. Dr. Hobson was truly the consummate physician, combining excellence in patient care, teaching and research.
