AMA Virtual Mentor Award"'Herbert Nickens was a passionate advocate for fairness and a tireless worker for equity in health care,' said AAMC President Jordan J. Cohen, MD. 'Trained as a psychiatrist, he sought throughout his professional life to heal one of our country's most distressing ills--limited opportunities for minorities in the health professions. No one in recent memory did more than Herbert Nickens to bridge the painful and persistent diversity gap in medicine.' "For his lifetime devotion to issues of health care justice and physician diversity, we are proud to recognize Dr. Nickens with the Virtual Mentor Award for being an exemplary role model in medicine."
