ANSA McAl Award for Excellence
Named ANSCAFE 2010 Laureate for Science and Technology, Professor Coard is the first female graduate of The University of the West Indies’ Medical DM (Pathology) programme to become Professor in Pathology. She is a widely respected researcher, author, and teacher in the field of medical pathology. Her research has been published in internationally recognised journals and she has over 60 publications to her name. In a career that has contributed to understanding and treating cardiovascular diseases, prostate cancer and soft tissue tumors, the Grenadian-born pathologist has received more than six medical awards, including a Jamaica Medical Foundation award in 2009 for outstanding achievement in the fields of pathology and research. She is a founding member of the Caribbean Cardiac Society and the Jamaican Association of Clinical Pathologists, and has held key leadership positions during her career, including Consultant Pathologist to Derriford Hospital, Plymouth, UK, in 1996. Professor Coard is among three ANSCAFE 2010 Laureates to be honoured at the gala ceremony next month. Mr Adrian Augier, St Lucian poet and dramatist, has been named 2010 Laureate for Arts and Letters, while Guyanese-born sustainable tourism pioneer, Mr Sydney Allicock, is the 2010 Laureate for Public and Civic Contributions. |
A Professor of Pathology at The UWI Mona Campus in Jamaica will soon receive TT$500,000 to support her work and professional development. Professor Kathleen Coard is expected to accept the cash award, along with the Anthony N Sabga Caribbean Awards for Excellence (ANSCAFE) medal and citation, at a formal award ceremony on April 17th, 2010.
