2018 YPS Model Mentor Award - Deadline May 1
Having good a mentorship is important to every phase of a physician’s career, but perhaps never more critical than in the earliest years out of training. Recognizing the key role that expert mentorship plays in a young physician’s success, the YPS has created the Model Mentor Award. Any YPS member may nominate one of their mentors for this award by submitting a narrative vignette that demonstrates how this physician serves as a model of effective mentorship.
The nominees must be AAO-HNS members in good standing. The nomination packet should include full contact information for both the nominee and the nominating YPS member, as well as a nominating paragraph of up to 325 words. The YPS Governing Council will select the Model Mentor Award winners to be recognized during the YPS General Assembly at the AAO-HNSF 2018 Annual Meeting & OTO Experience and will consider the winning vignettes for submission to Otolaryngology–Head and Neck Surgery. Please email your nomination to YPS Secretary Davey Cohen (dscohen@gmail.com) as a PDF attachment. Nominations must be received by 11:00 pm (PT), May 1, 2018. For questions, please contact Dr. Cohen or YPS Chair Danny Chelius dannychelius@gmail.com.
