IUSM Alumni Awards
Each year the IU School of Medicine Alumni Association recognizes IU School of Medicine alumni who excel in their career with three distinct awards: Glenn W. Irwin Jr., MD Distinguished Alumni Award; Early Career Achievement Award, and Distinguished Alumni Award.
Nominations are due at 5 p.m. Friday, Feb. 21. An online PDF contains more information on how to complete a nomination.
For these awards, an alumnus is defined as a graduate or former trainee of the IU School of Medicine; former residents and fellows are considered alumni of the school. (A list of past award recipients is online.) Award recipients will be recognized at the IU School of Medicine Strawberry Shortcake Alumni Awards Luncheon at the NCAA on May 17.
