PCOM South Georgia has selected Samuel P. Prahlow (DO ‘24) as its Student Researcher of the Year. This award is presented to an osteopathic medical student who has pursued academic excellence through research, scholarship and hard work.
With this nomination, Prahlow will be competing for the National Student Researcher
of the Year Award.
The Student Researcher of the Year Award is an award presented annually by the Council of Osteopathic Student Government Presidents, a council of the American Association of Colleges of Osteopathic Medicine (AACOM), to student researchers who demonstrate excellence in their commitment to research during their medical school years.
Prahlow has long been involved in research, even before joining the DO Class of 2024 at PCOM South Georgia. During his undergraduate and graduate education, his drive for understanding the ‘why’ and ‘how’ led him to continue research during his time at PCOM South Georgia.
Savita Arya, MD, associate professor pathology, has worked alongside Prahlow through his time conducting research at PCOM South Georgia.
“Sam’s secret to getting ahead is his focus, purpose and enthusiasm for research,”
she said. “Sam had been involved in research even prior to entering PCOM. As a part
of the anatomical histopathological research project at PCOM, Sam’s group came up
with the most innovative ideas for research. As a student researcher, Sam is a great
team player with leadership skills, sincerity and enthusiasm. He is always willing
to take the first step in the right direction.”
