Dr. Nancy Snyderman, chief medical editor at NBC News, recently presented third-year medical student Dan Henderson with a $5,000 scholarship, then interviewed him for the satellite radio channel ReachMD. The scholarship was the top prize for winning the inaugural “Next Top Doc” quiz show for medical students, which ReachMD introduced earlier this year at the American Medical Student Association’s annual convention in Arlington, Va.
