Priestley Society Awards
Three awards are given each year by the Priestley Society, a Mayo Clinic Alumni Association group for surgeons who trained at Mayo Clinic or who are current or former staff members in the Mayo Clinic Department of Surgery.
Legacy Professorship
The Legacy Professorship was established in 2002 to honor those who have embodied the Mayo heritage, established great traditions and left behind a legacy as a prominent surgeon in — their given field. Each — year, the Priestley Society Executive Committee votes to award this honor to a retired Mayo staff member.

W. Deprez Inlow Award
The W. Deprez Inlow Award was established in 2004 by a generous gift from the extended family of Dr. Robert and Robbie Inlow in honor of Dr. Inlow's father, Dr. W. Deprez Inlow, who trained in surgery at Mayo Clinic from 1919 to 1921.
On Resident Education Day in February, six general surgery residents from the Mayo Clinic campuses in Arizona, Florida and Rochester compete in an academic competition. Each resident presents a research project via teleconference to staff physicians, who ask questions and rate the presentations. The resident with the highest score wins the W. Deprez Inlow Award — an all-expenses paid trip to the Priestley Society meeting and the honor of presenting the first paper at the event.
