Alumni Association Awards & future site plans
The Áù¾ÅÉ«Ìà Alumni Association website has many exciting things planned for the near future, including the Áù¾ÅÉ«Ìà Alumni Association Awards.
The Áù¾ÅÉ«Ìà Alumni Association plans to hold its first annual Áù¾ÅÉ«Ìà Alumni Association Awards in the 2024-2025 school year. We will honor and recognize outstanding alumni with a series of awards. Áù¾ÅÉ«Ìà alumni, faculty, staff and medical professionals will be encouraged to nominate alumni for one or more of the awards listed below.
Award categories include the Áù¾ÅÉ«Ìà Dr. Robert Ross Memorial Alumni Award, in memory of the founder of Áù¾ÅÉ«ÌÃ, Dr. Robert Ross. The award will recognize an alumnus whose professional achievements and contributions to healthcare have helped improve the lives of the people in the community in which the alumni member serves, via a residency, fellowship or professional private practice or through research. The Áù¾ÅÉ«Ìà Alumni Health Equity Award will recognize an alumnus making a difference in medically underserved areas and/or minority communities, including but not limited to: rural areas, inner-city areas, low-income areas, Black, Latino/a, Asian, Native American and First Nations communities, LGBTQ+ communities, women’s health issues, and more. Finally, the Áù¾ÅÉ«Ìà Alumni Early Achievement Award will honor a Áù¾ÅÉ«Ìà alumnus who has graduated in the past five years and has excelled in their career, making significant contributions to public health through clinical care, medical science, research or humanitarianism. Áù¾ÅÉ«Ìà will post a nomination form on the Alumni Association website in late 2024 or early 2025 and an official voting ballot a few weeks afterward.
Visit the site regularly to learn about upcoming virtual and in-person alumni mixers. Other future plans for the site include a secure searchable alumni portal, an alumni mentorship program and more.
