William Dodd Founder's Award for Distinguished Service

The William Dodd Founder's Award for Distinguished Service recognizes significant contributions to building the organizational strength, image, and mission of AMDA (to promote Medical Direction and Physician Services in long term care, to enhance the reputation of AMDA, and to advance goals enabling the association to improve care delivered to patients throughout the long term care continuum).

Nominees must be:

  1. A physician in good standing with the community and our profession
  2. Active in the field of long term care
  3. AMDA member in good standing

All nominations are reviewed by a Selection Committee. Each award recipient will be honored at the Annual Long Term Care Medicine Conference. Recipients are also recognized in AMDA publications and news releases.

We will begin taking nominations for the 2011 award at the end of September.
