The ACP New Mexico Chapter Awards Committee would like your help identifying members for the 2015 Laureate, Excellence in Teaching, Community Service/Volunteerism Award, and Early Career Physician Leadership Award.

Laureate Award

The Laureate Award is designed to honor those Fellows and Masters of the College who have demonstrated, by their example and conduct, an abiding commitment to excellence in medical care, education, research, and service to their community, their chapter, and ACP.

  • is a Fellow or Master of the College.
  • has a long history of excellence and peer approval in the specialty of internal medicine.
  • has served the chapter and community with distinction or in some clearly definable manner.

Community Service and Volunteerism Award

The Community Service and Volunteerism Award was started in 2009 to recognize the work of members who are involved in volunteerism and community service activities. Volunteerism, like a commitment to continuing education, is an established tradition for internists.
