The award is named for Dr. Phil Stent, one of the pioneers of Emergency Medicine in Connecticut and one of the individuals responsible for the continued development of the specialty of emergency medicine in the state. Dr. Stent was Chairman of the Department of Emergency Medicine at both St. Francis Hospital and the University of Connecticut and went on to become the Medical Director of the Office of Emergency Medical Services. He worked tirelessly in guiding the state towards a state-wide trauma system and aided in the implementation of the first Emergency Medicine Residency in Connecticut.
