Genevieve Miller–Courtesy Dittrick Medical History Center, Case Western Reserve University
The American Association for the History of Medicine established the lifetime achievement award in 1988; the first recipients were Saul Jarcho, Lester King, and Owsei Temkin. The award was named for Genevieve Miller in 2014 to honor her contributions to the history of medicine and the Association. The award is given annually to a member of the Association who has retired from regular institutional affiliation or practice, with a distinguished record of support for the history of medicine over many years, and who has made continuing scholarly contributions of a distinguished nature. Beatrix Hoffman, chair of the Genevieve Miller Lifetime Achievement Award Committee, welcomes nominations for the award at beatrix@niu.edu. Nominations for this award should include at least one letter of nomination outlining the nominee’s continuing contributions to the field and a curriculum vitae or other biographical information.
Deadline for nominations: 30 November 2023. Electronic submissions are preferred.
