Congratulate our National Award Winners

John M. Carethers, MD, MACP, has been named the recipient of the 2020-2021 Harriet P. Dustan Award for Outstanding Work in Science as Related to Medicine. This award is bestowed for outstanding work in science as related to medicine. Scientists of any country and in any field, whether non-clinical or clinical, biochemical, biological, physical, or social, are eligible for this award. A medical degree is not required. A major consideration in selecting the awardee will be that the nominee has made an outstanding contribution that has been nationally or internationally recognized.

Louis D. Saravolatz, MD, MACP, has been named the recipient of the 2020-2021 Alvan R. Feinstein Award. The award is to be given to an American physician who has made a major contribution to the science of patient care in activities that Dr. Feinstein has broadly defined as clinical epidemiology or clinimetrics, involving the direct study of patients' clinical conditions. This award is given every other year.

Congratulate our Newest Master

Joseph C. Kolars, MD, MACP of Ann Arbor, has been awarded a Mastership.  Masters are Fellows who have been selected because of "integrity, positions of honor, eminence in practice or in medical research, or other attainments in science or in the art of medicine." Masters must be highly accomplished persons demonstrating eminence in practice, leadership, or in medical research. Evidence of their achievements can come from many types of endeavors such as renown within their field and/or ACP chapter, research, education, health care initiatives, volunteerism, and administrative positions. The Master must be distinguished by the excellence and significance of his or her contributions to the field of medicine.

Congratulations to all of the Michigan Chapter Award Winners
