School of Medicine IOM Nomination Process

• SOM IOM members have met annually since 1991 to review previous nominations and plan nominations for current election cycle (Current Chair: Brian L. Strom, MD, MPH)

• New approach instituted for 2006 election cycle analogous to IOM Section-oriented process

– Current IOM members review previously submitted nominations and suggest new nominees

– Revised total nominee list returned to IOM members to rank in priority order those nominees in the member’s IOM section

– Final ranking list prepared for discussion at meeting of SOM IOM members; nominee list finalized and nomination facilitators assigned

– Follow-up with facilitators to provide assistance if necessary and ensure that nominations are completed and submitted on time

• Primary goal is to ensure that the strongest candidates are nominated; process does not preclude IOM members from nominating faculty not designated through this process

School of Medicine Awards CommitteeSummary

1. A committee of the School of Medicine (Awards Committee) is in place to identify and facilitate the nominations of outstanding faculty for membership in honorific academic societies and for prestigious national and international awards.

2. Based on a 15-year experience with the Institute of Medicine, an organized approach to nominating faculty for membership appears to be helpful.

3. Initial experience with other honorific societies and selected major national and international awards is also positive.

4. Much remains to be done.
