Judy Regensteiner, professor of medicine at the University of Colorado’s School of Medicine, was awarded the Outstanding Research Mentor Award for 2013 by the Colorado Clinical and Translational Sciences Institute (CCTSI) Clinical Science Graduate Program.  The award is based on student nominations.

Said Amy Huebschmann, one of Regensteiner’s mentees, “Judy has clearly exemplified the following twin characteristics of an outstanding mentor: encouraging my scientific development and providing altruistic support of my career. In the nine years since Judy and I began working together, she has shepherded me from curious primary care clinician to a K-award funded clinician-scientist. She has taught me the clear scientific thinking and writing necessary to write nine successful research grants and to publish 14 manuscripts, and I credit much of my scientific success to her training.”
