Nominate your heroes, mentors, and colleagues for ACP awards and masterships

From the February ACP Internist, copyright © 2008 by the American College of Physicians.

The ACP Awards Committee invites your help in recognizing the accomplishments of distinguished individuals and organizations through the College's awards and Masterships. Nominations are invited for the 2008-09 awards cycle, which will end with the College’s bestowing eighteen awards and approximately 40 Masterships during the Convocation ceremony at Internal Medicine 2009. These honors recognize outstanding contributions in medical practice, teaching, research, public service, leadership, and volunteerism.

The 2008-09 Awards and Mastership Booklet contains criteria for all the College's honors plus instructions for writing letters of support. Print copies have been mailed to current and past ACP Officers, Regents, and Governors; current ACP national committee and council members; and ACP Masters. Others who would like a print copy may contact staff (see below) or access the booklet online.

A minimum of five detailed supporting letters and a curriculum vitae (or equivalent) with full bibliography are required for nominations, and the deadline is July 1, 2008. However, the Johnson Award requires a minimum of three letters, and the deadline for materials is April 1, 2008. In keeping with ACP’s Diversity Policy, the Awards Committee requests that nominators consider a wide array of outstanding candidates including women, underserved minorities, other ethnic groups, and international members and colleagues.

Please note that only ACP Fellows may be nominated for Mastership and that Masterships as well as awards are competitive: only a limited number are given each year, and the most outstanding are selected.
