Association of Military Surgeons of the United States (AMSUS) Award Nominations
Background: Here is an outstanding opportunity to recognize your hard working colleagues, peers and/or staff members. Association of Military Surgeons of the United States (AMSUS) acknowledges the abilities of many outstanding military/federal healthcare individuals each year through the distinguished Awards Program. AMSUS is for all health providers, not just surgeons as the name implies.
As a member of federal healthcare, you are in a unique position to nominate a deserving individual for a competitive AMSUS award. So many individuals do outstanding work in their fields, yet are never recognized publicly for their work. This is your opportunity to see that recognition is given. The process is not difficult and has been simplified for this year. If you know of someone who should receive recognition, and whose work qualifies them for one of the AMSUS awards, please make time to submit a nomination. Details can be found in these documents:
