Award For Humaneness In Medicine
The Lehigh County Medical Society announces that it is accepting nominations for the Humaneness in Medicine Award!
The objective of the award is to highlight and reinforce the significance of humanistic qualities among residents and/or fellows of all specialties in Lehigh County. The existence of a caring, compassionate culture in the educational environment serves as positive reinforcement to prospective physicians of the desirability of such virtues in the doctor-patient relationship.
This award is presented to the resident or fellow who has best displayed the Lehigh County Medical Society’s ideals of outstanding compassion in the delivery of care, respect for patients, their families, and healthcare colleagues, as well as demonstrated clinical excellence.
Nomination Procedure
A complete nomination packet will include the nomination form, the nominee’s Curriculum Vitae and a letter of support from a medical student, Director of Residency Training, physician colleague, nurse or allied health care professional. Additional information may be requested by the Lehigh County Medical Society, (LCMS). All nominations must be received by the LCMS office no later than March 1, for the previous year’s award.
Note: Should any resident be interested in becoming a member, there is no charge if you join as a member of Lehigh County. PAMED does have a fee for membership, but Lehigh County Medical Society has an agreement with them that we will cover that charge. Lehigh County Medical Society values your membership and hopes to see young physicians engaged and does not want the dues to get in the way.
