ASUM Awards of Excellence

Historically incorporated into the Annual Scientific Meeting, achievement and contribution are 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.

For information on the Awards, please review the awards brochure and criteria below before nominating. The Awards of Excellence presented at the conference gala dinner.
