Scholarship to honor 50-year staff member  The Physical Therapy
and Rehabilitation Science Graduate Program in the University of
Iowa Carver College of Medicine has established the Judy
Biderman Professionalism Award in honor of a 50-year staff
member.  The $500 scholarship will be given each year to one
graduating physical therapy student who demonstrates outstanding
professionalism in the classroom and clinic.  The award is named
for Judy Biderman, who first started with the program as a
secretary after graduating from high school in 1961 and is
retiring this year from her position as program assistant.
Described as the program’s “linchpin,” Biderman has made
numerous contributions to the program’s evolution over the last
five decades.
