To honor female faculty who have made outstanding contributions through clinical work, teaching, mentorship, role modeling, or administration with great local or regional impact.

Eligibility criteria:

1. Female EM physician faculty member in a North American academic EM department
2. Current SAEM and AWAEM member (no later than January 1, 2020) not currently serving on the AWAEM Awards Committee or Executive Council

Selection criteria:

• Evidence of dedication to academic EM through a consistent track record of outstanding clinical work, teaching, service, advocacy, research, or administration.
• A female faculty member who colleagues feel provides invaluable service but, for whatever reason, has not been recognized via conventional means (e.g. regional, national awards or board membership).

Required Documentation:

1. Nominee’s CV
