AMSUS acknowledges the abilities of many outstanding federal healthcare individuals each year through our distinguished Awards Program.
About
As a member of federal healthcare, you are in a unique position to nominate a deserving individual for an AMSUS award. So many individuals do outstanding work in their fields, yet are never recognized publicly. This is your opportunity to see that recognition is given.
Nominations are open to any federal healthcare worker from the Army, Navy, Air Force, USPHS, Veterans Affairs, Homeland Security, Health and Human Services, and the Uniformed Services University.
Here is the 2021/2022 Awards Program Criteria and FAQ. Many have asked if a sample submission can be provided. Please see the attached as an example only.
The submission period is open from 1 June – 4 October 2021. Award recipients will be announced in November and awards presented at the AMSUS Awards Banquet in February 2022.
