🎉Join us in celebrating an ASPEN 2026 award winner: Anam Bashir, MD, recipient of the New Practitioner Award for the Research Section.

"Getting into medical school in India and reaching specialty training in the U.S. through a non-linear journey across multiple countries/continents is among my proudest achievements. Beyond awards or accolades, I take the most pride in making a difference in children’s lives. Seeing a child smile after feeling better reminds me why I chose this path—despite the challenges, helping them grow healthier and happier makes it all worthwhile."
