Winners are recognized at the Division’s annual business meeting and receive a certificate of appreciation. (previous award recipients)

"Excellence in Teaching Award"
This award, which was established in 2005, recognizes innovative and outstanding teaching that takes place in our classrooms and provides the opportunity to encourage, recognize and reward the work of excellent, dedicated and inspiring teachers. Nominations are sought from the membership, and each nominee must meet be a University level academic staff, tenured or on full-time contract, and must have been employed in a teaching position for at least three years within the University. (previous award recipients)
"Myron D. Fottler Exceptional Service Award"
This award is considered by many to be the most distinguished award given by the HCM Division. It was established to recognize a member of the Division who has provided extraordinary service to HCM and to the profession. It is not an annual award; rather it is given only when the Division identifies a suitable nominee who meets the following requirements:
  • The individual must have dedicated at least ten years to the Health Care Management Division and to the profession, and must have established a consistently strong presence in the Division over a long period of time.
  • The individual must have served as a meaningful mentor, not only to colleagues and students at his or her own university, but also to others in HCMD.
  • If the individual has served as a Division officer, he or she must have continued active participation in the Division long after serving as a Division officer (this requirement automatically exempts anyone for consideration while a current officer).

Nominations for this award are solicited by the Division chair-elect in the spring. In the years when an award is given, the winner will be announced at the annual meeting and recognized during the Division’s business meeting and awards ceremony. (previous award recipients)
