Awards, Masterships and Competitions
As a way of achieving the College goal to "recognize excellence and distinguished contributions to internal medicine," the College offers 23 awards and a number of MACPs each year. Annually, awardees and MACPs are honored at the Convocation ceremony held during the Internal Medicine meeting.
General Deadline: July 1st
Candidates may not self-nominate or campaign for an award or Mastership. In cases where this process may not have been followed, the Chair of the Committee will initiate a review and discussion with the Committee and it may result in disqualification if verified.
Nomination Requirements: MACP nominations require 1 letter of nomination and 3 letters of support in addition to a CV and brief biographical sketch. Award nominations require 1 letter of nomination and 2 letters of support in addition to a CV and brief biographical sketch.
New for 2026: Nomination letters or supporting letters with more than one signature are disallowed. Letters of nomination and support must be dated within two years from the July 1st deadline.
