Call for 2011 McGovern Award Nominations

AMWA Southwest is now accepting nominations for the 2011 John P. McGovern Award for excellence in medical communication. The recipient will be honored at the 2011 McGovern Award Banquet next January and will be expected to deliver a lecture at that time. The award carries with it an honorarium.

Past recipients have included journalists, physicians, researchers, professors, authors, and more. 2010's recipient was Megan Cole, playwright and stage actor, who gave us a fascinating look into the influential life and career of Mayo Clinic medical editor Maud Mellish Wilson. More information on the McGovern Award and a list of past recipients can be found here.
