Awards of Excellence
Honours and Awards
At ASUM we realise the importance of people in our profession and have created an annual Honours and Awards program. Historically, incorporated into the Annual Scientific Meeting achievement and contribution is recognised at the event’s Gala Dinner, the premier function in the industry. The categories are a mix of nomination, election and outright performance and are designed to cover almost everything ultrasound. Some of the industry’s most reputable experts, as well as the quiet achievers, are recognised in these awards. We trust that you will enjoy reviewing previous award winners and find inspiration to nominate a colleague or peer.
Nominations for the Awards of Excellence are now open all year round. For information on the Awards, please review the awards brochure and criteria below before nominating. Awards of Excellence for 2021 will be presented at the ASUM 2021 conference gala dinner. Nominations for the 2021 Awards of Excellence must be received before 1 October 2021. Use your ASUM login to nominate online or complete the nomination form on the last two pages off the Awards brochure.
