The Al Senft Prize is awarded to a graduating Brown medical student who intends to pursue a career in international health or whose professional career will include significant involvement in the issues of world health.  

The student awarded must demonstrate a serious and continuing interest in international health, as evidenced by course selections in the field and/or foreign studies, and must have excellent academic performance. 

CGHE collects nominations from faculty, students and staff and presents a shortlist to medical school leadership for final selections.  

Dr. Senft was a leader in organizing the basic sciences for the M.D. degree, years before Brown Medical School was fully organized or operational.  A generation of Brown medical students learned parasitology in the classes supervised by Dr. Senft.
