Call for
Candidates for 2nd Presidential Scholar Award
The deadline for submissions for the Second Annual
Presidential Scholar Award is May 15, 2004. The goal
of this award is to highlight research by faculty
members in anesthesiology departments.
The recipient of the First Annual Presidential Scholar
Award was Peter J. Pronovost, M.D., Ph.D., from Johns
Hopkins University, Baltimore, Maryland. Upon receiving
the award at the 2003 ASA Annual Meeting in San Francisco,
California, last October, Dr. Pronovost spoke on “Making
a Difference: From Hypothesis to Policy — the
ICU Story.”
Anesthesiologists who are within seven years of their
first appointment to a department of anesthesiology,
who are board-certified and who spend at least two
days a week in clinical practice are eligible for
this award. Candidates should be nominated for the
award by their department chair, who should submit
each nominee’s curriculum vitae and copies of
three exemplary articles (published or in press).
The Committee on Research will judge the applications
and select a winner. The recipient of the Second
Annual Presidential Scholar Award will be asked to
present following the Emery A. Rovenstine Memorial
Lecture session during the ASA Annual Meeting in October
2004 in Las Vegas, Nevada.
