AMSUS Annual Awards Program
BLUF: AMSUS – The Society of Federal Health Professionals honors the contributions of outstanding federal healthcare professionals each year through the Awards Program. The awards are presented during the Association’s Annual Continuing Education Meeting at its Annual Banquet. Each recipient will be presented their award personally by the leadership of their agency and the AMSUS Executive Director. We strongly encourage nominations of deserving individuals for these awards.
This year’s Awards Program has 15 competitive award categories, including individual professional awards and functional mission awards. 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.
There is also an opportunity to nominate deserving individuals from your agency in these three premiere award categories:
• Rising Star Award
• Innovator Award
• Lifetime Achievement Award
The nomination process takes place electronically through the AMSUS website: https://www.amsus.org/professional-development/amsus-awards-program/
Nominations will be accepted 1 June – 3 September 2021. The deadline will not be extended. All nominations must be submitted in the online submission portal. Complete information on submitting a nomination is included in the attachment. There is no cap on the number of nominations that may be submitted. Following submission to AMSUS, the candidate packages will be forwarded for SG endorsement.

Updated Awards Section in Promo Prep
I’m slowly but steadily working on the 2021 version of the Promo Prep and Fitrep Prep, but because Navy Personnel Command retired NDAWS (awards.navy.mil) and now uses BOL for awards, the awards section needed to be updated. The version with the updated awards section has been uploaded to the Promo Prep page.
Bottom Line – If your awards are accurate on your OSR, there is no action to take. If they are not, have fun!

Here is some BUMED guidance on these awards from the BUMED Plan of the Week:
Armed Forces Service Medal (AFSM) and Humanitarian Service Medal (HSM). Active duty, reserve and National Guard personnel are eligible for the service medals as outlined in DoD Manual 1348.33, DoD Manual of Military Decorations and Awards. The period of the award is from Jan. 31, 2020 to a date to be determined. Members are not authorized to receive both awards for the same time period. Please read below for some guidance on both medals:

- Member has to have performed duties, to which they were re-assigned away from their regular billeted duties in direct support of DoD COVID-19 operations for not less than 30 days (consecutive or non-consecutive).
- If while performing duties in direct support of COVID-19, a member contracts the virus while supporting the mission (even if for only 1 day), he/sh may be authorized to wear the AFSM
HSM
- This medal is presented to members who were in direct support of a humanitarian mission in a deployed status in approved locations
- Eligibility for the HSM is only for the period of immediate relief operation in the affected area (definitive start and end dates).
