Since its inception in 1999, Careers in Medicine has supported the career decisions of medical students by working hand-in-hand with school liaisons who implement career development programs locally. Together, we have transformed medical student career development by formalizing programs, implementing innovative curricula, and training medical school advisors. In continuing to recognize the importance of effective career decision making and those who support students in this process, Careers in Medicine offers the Excellence in Medical Student Career Advising awards. This year three awards will be presented:  A program award, an advisor award, and a support staff award.

• Program Award - Recognizes the accomplishments of a program.
• Advisor Award - Recognizes the work of an individual advisor.
• Support Staff Award - Recognizes the work of an individual staff member who provides programmatic support to a career advising program.
