Alastair Coomer, B.V.Sc., a second-year resident in small animal surgery at the University of Florida College of Veterinary Medicine, won first prize in the research category of the Resident's Forum at the annual American College of Veterinary Surgeons meeting, held Oct. 17-21 in Chicago.

Coomer, who also is pursuing a master's degree at the college, was honored for a presentation focusing on his graduate studies titled "Intramuscular Murine Model for Radiation Therapy of Canine Osteosarcoma."

ACVS established the Outstanding Surgical Resident Awards competition to encourage the development of clinically important research and the dissemination of the results of these investigations, particularly those conducted by surgical residents.
