Each year, the FSACOFP Board accepts nominations for awards in the following categories:

 

Chosen annually from a list of nominees submitted to the Board of Directors. He/she must be a member in good standing of both the Florida Society American College of Osteopathic Family Physicians and the National ACOFP.

 

Given to an individual who has given of themselves to the support of the profession in an outstanding and exemplary way above the call of duty. This award may be a lay person as well as a physician.

 

The candidate must be a member in good standing of the FSACOFP for a minimum of ten consecutive years prior to nomination. The candidate must have been in active practice or in a teaching position for a minimum of ten years in the State of Florida.

 

This award is to publicly acknowledge exemplary and selfless services to others in the profession or from the community at large. This award need not be given on an annual basis.

 

The Samuel J. Salman Award in Family Medicine is presented by the Florida Society of ACOFP to the student whose scholarship, patient empathy, dedication, concern and goals epitomize the osteopathic family physician as exemplified by the late Samuel J. Salman, D.O. The award (plaque & $500) is presented to the recipient by the Chair of the NSU Department of Family Medicine at the NSU-COM Graduation Banquet.

 

This award honors an individual who has significantly enhanced the academic credibility of osteopathic family medicine in the state of Florida by a sustained, long-term commitment to osteopathic family medicine in academic settings.

 

This award is given to a third-year resident from an osteopathically accredited family medicine residency in Florida. The recipient will not necessarily be the chief resident or someone who is planning to do a fellowship or begin an academic career.
