Awards have been given since 1960. The Henry Harkins Award was instituted in honor of Professor Harkins following his death in 1967.
Born in Montana in 1905, Henry Harkins spent most of his youth in Chicago, where he earned his medical degree from Rush Medical College in 1930. He subsequently received his surgical training at the University of Chicago, servicing as Chief Resident in 1936. Following residency, Dr. Harkins began an active career in academic surgery, including fellowships in several European centers. Upon his return to the United States, he served on the staff of Henry Ford Hospital, and later at Johns Hopkins.
In 1947, Dr. Harkins became Chairman of the Department of Surgery at the University of Washington. Under his leadership, the Department gained a reputation for excellence that endures to this day.
Among Dr. Harkins' many contributions to surgery were work on traumatic shock, burns, hernia, varicose veins and a keen interest in gastric pathophysiology and surgery. Until his death in 1967, he remained active on numerous editorial boards and advisory panels. The Harkins Resident Paper Competition is a fitting tribute to the memory of this extraordinary surgical leader.
