Nominations Sought for FAER Mentoring Excellence in Research Award

The Foundation for Anesthesia Education and Research is seeking nominations for the first annual FAER Mentoring Excellence in Research Award. This award was created to ensure that the value of outstanding mentors is recognized and to encourage, develop and retain these valuable individuals in our specialty.

This award recognizes mentorship rather than scientific accomplishment. Nominees must have mentored anesthesiologists or scientists who have worked in the U.S. and contributed significantly to the practice. The award is focused on the successful development of mentees, not the professional accomplishments of the mentor. Nominees should be superior mentors, seen as supporting the future of the specialty. 

The deadline for nominations for the 2009 FAER Mentoring Excellence in Research Award is March 30, 2009. Details on the nomination process and a nomination form are available at http://www.faer.org/about/MentorResearchAward.html.
