Award season is upon us – and that includes the annual Department of Medicine awards, which recognize outstanding contributions from DOM faculty and staff members. Consider nominating a deserving colleague or co-worker who has made a significant contribution in one of our mission areas (patient care, teaching, research) — or in providing the administrative leadership and support to make this work possible. Help us shine a spotlight on their dedication and service.
Recommendations for awards should be submitted to your division chief, as detailed below; chiefs must submit their nominations to my office by May 1, so don’t delay!
