MHS to honor work of female physicians

Filed under DoD News {no comments}

The annual  “Building Stronger Female Physician Leaders in the Military Health System” award is the first of its kind that identifies and honors outstanding female physicians who have made significant contributions to the practice of military medicine and serve as exemplary role models for others.

It is one of many innovative initiatives designed to attract female physicians into the MHS. Female physicians are an integral part of the work of the MHS and this award represents a commitment to honor their contributions to military medicine, as well as an opportunity to motivate the next generation of young women physicians.

To nominate an outstanding female physician please visit www.health.mil/people.

Nominations are due on October 30.  Winners will be announced formally at the MHS Conference, held in Washington, D.C., in January 2010.
