Nominate Colleagues by April 25 for Prestigious ACS Awards

The ACS Honors Committee is inviting members to submit nominations for six prestigious awards. The Committee is particularly interested in nominations of candidates from a wide range of surgical specialties and geographical locations, especially for Honorary Fellowship.

Submissions are accepted on a rolling basis and considered annually for selection:

• Distinguished Service Award (May)
• Jacobson Innovation Award (May)
• Lifetime Achievement Award (May)
• Honorary Fellowship (September)
• Distinguished Lifetime Military Contribution Award (January)
• Sheen Award (January)

Nominations for the Distinguished Service Award, Jacobson Innovation Award, Lifetime Achievement Award, and Honorary Fellowship must be received by April 25, 2024, in order to be placed on the corresponding committee agendas. Nominations received after that date will be held for future consideration.

Visit the Honors Committee web page for details on submitting a nomination for the awards, or use the above links to read about a specific award, submit a nomination, and see a list of past recipients. 

Note: Nominations do not automatically lead to selection, and not all awards or honors are presented annually.
