The Djurhuus legacy
- The JCD Prize is named after Professor Jens Christian Djurhuus, who was head of the Department of Clinical Medicine from 1978 to 2012.
- He is remembered as a department head who made a huge effort for the PhD students and enjoyed helping the young talents make progress with their research projects.
- Since Djurhuus left the department in 2012, the PhD Association at Health has annually awarded the JCD Prize to a supervisor who has made an extraordinary effort.
