Nominees may be physicians working in public health or going beyond their patient community to have an impact on public health, or non-physicians who have an extraordinary impact on the public health of America (city, county, state, or nation). Current TAFP officers are not eligible for this award. Judging criteria will include but will not be limited to: Body of work (projects/programs), training, experience, letters of support, content of written narratives, and CV.
