The International College of Dentists (ICD) has awarded its prestigious Golden Pen award to the fall/winter 2005 issue of Global Health Nexus — the oral cancer scoreboard issue. This is the fourth ICD Journalism Award won by Global Health Nexus.

In announcing the award, Dr. James P. Fratzke, the ICD Award Committee Chairman said, “Articles pertaining to oral cancer exams in the Fall/Winter 2005 issue present a timely and important subject for dentistry.”

“We are extremely honored by this award,” said Interim Dean Richard I. Vogel. “It signifies the profession’s growing awareness that oral cancer is an issue whose time has come.”
