To enhance the profile of the practice of pathology and attract outstanding medical students into pathology and laboratory medicine, the American Society for Clinical Pathology (ASCP) offers a student award recognition program: Award for Academic Excellence and Achievement in Pathology.
This award honors medical students in years one through four who have achieved academic excellence, leadership ability, and a strong interest in the pathology profession. Ten medical students will be selected per year to receive this prestigious award. One student will be chosen to receive the Gold Award. Self-nominations are accepted, but official departmental approval is still required by the Pathology Department Chair, Program Director, or Course Director.
The ASCP nomination form can be found here. The nomination deadline for 2013 is May 3.
The students selected will receive a personalized certificate of achievement; a copy of the
Washington Manual of Surgical Pathology; an Amazon Kindle; and will be recognized on the ASCP website and through a special eNews story on the recipients. The materials will be sent to the address indicated on the award application form via UPS Ground and will be available to present to students at a time designated by the medical institution. One medical student will be chosen as the Gold Award recipient and in addition to the items above, will receive a trip to the 2013 ASCP Annual Meeting which includes registration fees, airfare, hotel, and travel expenses, an iPad mini, a personalized plaque and recognition as the
2013 ASCP Medical Student Gold Award Recipient.
