UND School of Medicine & Health Sciences Recognizes End-Of-Year Faculty & Student Award Winners
GRAND FORKS, N.D. — The University of North Dakota School of Medicine & Health
Sciences (SMHS) has announced its end-of-year awards given to medical
students and clinical faculty. Although the awards are normally given
in-person prior to Commencement, the School instead announced its award
winners via social media during the M.D. Commencement Ceremony on Saturday,
May 8, 2021.
Of the roughly 1,700 physicians in North Dakota, more than 1,200 have voluntary
clinical faculty appointments at the SMHS, said Joshua Wynne, M.D., M.B.A.,
M.P.H., vice president for health affairs and dean of the School.
“As a community-based institution, the School could not carry out
its educational mission without the dedication and sacrifice of our voluntary
faculty members,” Wynne added. “We are fortunate to have many
dedicated physicians from across North Dakota who teach. These physicians
have gone above and beyond the call of duty in giving our students the
benefit of their time, experience, knowledge, and wisdom gained from years
of caring for patients.”
The winners of the Dean’s Special Recognition Awards for Outstanding
Volunteer Faculty were:
Hasrat Khan, Clinical Associate Professor of Internal Medicine, Fargo, N.D.
Peter C. Kurniali, Assistant Professor of Internal Medicine, Bismarck, N.D.
Wayne Martinsen, Clinical Assistant Professor of Psychiatry and Behavioral
Science, Minot, N.D.
Casey Ryan, Clinical Professor of Internal Medicine, Grand Forks, N.D.

Forks) Campus

(Minot) Campus
