Request for Nominations

Nominations for the 2010 award cycle are now being accepted.

The Abraham Flexner Award for Distinguished Service to Medical Education is awarded annually to an individual for extraordinary contributions to the medical education community. The award was first presented by the Association in 1958 and is the AAMC's most prestigious honor. The Flexner Award recognizes the highest standards in medical education and honors individuals whose impact on medical education is national in scope.

Nominations may be made by any faculty or staff member of a medical school or teaching hospital or by any member of an academic society. The Award Selection Committee may also solicit nominations. Any individual who has made a significant contribution to academic medicine is eligible for nomination.

Nominations for the Flexner Award must include:

  • Eight (8) copies of a statement of evidence in justification of the nomination
  • Eight (8) copies of the nominee's curriculum vitae, including current address.

Seconding letters of support are not necessary; however, if such letters are solicited, 8 copies must be submitted. The committee will accept no more than three supporting letters for any nomination.

Presentation of the Flexner Medical and a prize of $10,000 will be made at the 2010 AAMC annual meeting.
