AMWA Gender Equity Awards

 

Nominations & 2006 Fundraiser

 

The University of Utah Student Chapter of the American Medical Women's Association is now accepting nominations for the annual Gender Equity Award.  AMWA's goal in developing this award was to help create an environment where all future physicians treat each other, staff, colleagues, other health professionals and their future patients with appropriate respect and sensitivity.  This award is designed to acknowledge the efforts of a physician, faculty member, or administrator who has demonstrated commitment to the above in both their professional demeanor and activities and in their teaching responsibilities. 

 

To nominate, please submit a letter of nomination outlining the candidate's commitment - through their actions, work, or research - to create gender equity at the University of Utah .
