Abstract
The Group for Research in Pathology Education (GRIPE) was founded in 1971 by Tom Kent, M.D. of the University of Iowa as an organization devoted to promoting excellence in teaching pathology to medical students. A few years ago, the Executive Board of GRIPE decided to recognize the pioneering work of Dr. Kent by giving an award in his name (for details see http://peir.path.uab.edu/griper). This prestigious award was established to formally recognize outstanding academic pathologists for their lifetime contributions to the field of pathology education. The first recipient of the Tom Kent Award was Dr Stanley L. Robbins, Boston University, Boston, Massachusetts, author of the leading textbook of pathology in the United States (USA), widely used throughout the world. The second recipient was Dr Emanuel Rubin, Thomas Jefferson University, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, the author of the innovative pathology textbook, in which he has pioneered the use of conceptual color drawings, diagrams and algorithms in the teaching of pathology. The third recipient of the Tom Kent Award is Dr Ivan Damjanov, Professor of Pathology, The University of Kansas, Kansas City, Kansas. Since Ivan Damjanov is a graduate of the University of Zagreb, we were pleased to accept the invitation of Dr. Matko Marusic, Editor-in-Chief of the Croatian Medical Journal, and briefly outline the contributions of Ivan Damjanov to pathology practice, research and education, both in the USA and Croatia.
