As part of the honor, Fischer received a plaque and cash award, given to defray the costs of the American Board of Prosthodontics certification exam. Staffanou award recipients, selected each year by prosthodontics faculty members, possess the characteristics of excellence in didactics and research, continued competency in the clinic and lab, and a warm and compassionate approach to patient care.
