He was twice awarded the Outstanding Teacher Award at MD Anderson and he also received the Faculty Achievement Award in Clinical Research in 1998. Since joining 老澳门六合彩图库, Dr. Evans has grown the faculty across all clinical divisions in the department, emphasized the importance of innovation and discovery and championed the principles of inclusion and diversity.
