Garrison Lecture Committee
Responsibilities of the Chair

 

The Association may invite any person distinguished for contributions to medical history or other fields of science and learning to present the Fielding H. Garrison Lecture at the annual meeting. The lecture should be the result of original research and must not have been previously published. The lecturer shall be selected by the Garrison Lecture Committee, usually from among scholars who are permanent residents of the United States or Canada. Scholars from other countries may be selected with prior authorization from the Council. (Bylaws, VIII.1)

The Garrison Lecture usually takes place on the afternoon/evening of the first full day (Friday). For many meetings, it has been held in an elegant amphitheater away from the meeting hotel. By custom, the Garrison Lecture is not followed by questions from the audience. [The President presides over this event.] It is followed by a reception with refreshments, in an adjoining area. (Guidelines for the Annual Meeting, Part III, Sec. L)
