SMDM Award Programs

The Society encourages outstanding work by young investigators. Trainee achievement is recognized by the annual presentation of the Lee B. Lusted Student Prizes for outstanding presentations of research at the Annual Meeting. The Young Investigator Award is presented annually for the best paper published by a trainee or junior faculty member. The newly established Career Achievement Award recognizes seminal work in medical decision making. The Eugene Saenger Award for Distinguished Service recognizes exceptional efforts in support of the Society. In 2002, we introduced the Eisenberg Award in recognition of exemplary leadership in the practical application of medical decision making research.
