“A heartfelt congratulations to the incredible Dr. Aasma Shaukat on receiving the prestigious 2026 American College of Gastroenterology William D. Carey Award!
Some individuals leave an impact that extends far beyond their professional accomplishments, and Dr. Shaukat is truly one of those extraordinary people.
A globally recognized leader in colorectal cancer screening and prevention, a visionary researcher, an exceptional mentor, and, above all, a genuinely wonderful human being.
Despite her remarkable accomplishments and international recognition, what makes her truly special is her humility, generosity, and unwavering commitment to uplifting those around her.
True greatness is measured not only by the lives we save or the science we advance, but also by the people we inspire and the opportunities we create for others. Dr. Shaukat embodies all of these qualities.
Thank you for being such an extraordinary mentor, role model, and friend. Your leadership continues to inspire me and countless others to strive for excellence while never losing sight of the humanity at the heart of medicine.
This recognition could not have gone to a more deserving individual! Wishing you continued success as you transform the field and inspire the next generation of physicians and scientists.
Congratulations, Dr. Shaukat! So incredibly proud and happy for you!”
