Oncology Resident Wins National Research Award
Dr. Jaeyoung Kim, a third-year medical oncology resident, won the Robert S. Brodey Memorial Award at the 2025 Veterinary Cancer Society (VCS) Annual Conference held recently in Salt Lake City, Utah.
The award recognizes an outstanding oral research presentation. At the conference, Dr. Kim presented her original research “High-Grade, Stage 1 Mast Cell Tumors: Outcome and Prognostic Factors in 63 Dogs Treated With Local Therapy and Adjuvant Chemotherapy.”
The award is named for the late Dr. Robert S. Brodey, a professor of surgery and head of the Tumor Clinic at the University of Pennsylvania School of Veterinary Medicine, who passed away in 1979 at the age of 51 following an automobile accident.
VCS was formed in 1976 by a small group of veterinarians whose goal was to establish a professional organization dedicated specifically to veterinary oncology. It has grown into an educational organization consisting of more than 1,500 specialists in medical, surgical, and radiation oncology, as well as internists, pathologists, and general practitioners from around the world. Professionals, students, residents, interns and technicians all form the membership of VCS.
