Udochi, a medicine graduate from the University of Nigeria, with over 33 years of experience in the medical line becomes the first black female winner of the reputable award.
The family physician, according to Nigeria Abroad, is the founder of the Millennial Family Care and was recognized as the top doctor by Baltimore Magazine in 2019.
The Maryland Academy of Family Physicians usually recognizes members that do exceedingly well as far as the tenets and ethos that guide family physicians are concerned.

Meanwhile, Legit.ng earlier reported that Nigerians had reacted to Okonjo-Iweala's husband's shoes in emerging photos.
In the throwback photo making the rounds and shared on Twitter by @huncklechu, the couple gave a cheeky smile as they posed for the camera.
Nigerians gushed about their love story and described them as being worthy of emulation. However, some sections of tweeps were particular about Ngozi's husband, Ikemba Iweala's shoe in the second frame. They argued that his shoe is not a reflection of his current status, a testament to his humility.
