Alan Stoudemire Award for Innovation & Excellence in Psychosomatic Medicine Education |
How to Apply |
The Alan Stoudemire Award is given to a program or an individual educator for creatively educating medical students, residents, and/or fellows in a consultation-liaison/psychosomatic medicine educational program that is outstanding by virtue of excellence, innovation, and impact. The award is presented to the individual or the physician representing the program, and is presented as a prize poster at the APM annual meeting.
- For EVEN years (such as 2010), applications are accepted from PROGRAMS only.
- For ODD years (such as 2011), applications are accepted from INDIVIDUALS only.
The award is named for Alan Stoudemire, MD, FAPM, a highly respected clinician and educator and a prolific author and editor. Dr. Stoudemire was professor of Psychiatry at Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia. He received the Academy's highest honor, the Thomas P. Hackett Memorial Award, in 1997.
Dr. Stoudemire passed away at age 49 in February 2000 of melanoma. Dr. James Levenson, APM president at the time, wrote in his President's Message for the Newsletter:
"In health and in illness Alan was a remarkable man, and an inspiration to us all. He brought a level of serious commitment to his work few could match, yet never lost sight of life's most important values of family and friendship, all the while wielding his wicked sense of humor, sparing no sacred cows."
For an excellent and inspiring read about Dr. Stoudemire, see the tribute in the February 2001 issue of Psychosomatics by Troy L. Thompson II, MD, FAPM (APM president 1991-92).
