The Society for Adolescent Health and Medicine offers this award to provide an educational experience in adolescent medicine to a group of healthcare providers who may not otherwise have the opportunity to benefit from the professor’s expertise. The designated professor will spend 2-4 days at a selected institution, offering training, guidance or expertise to enhance the knowledge and skills of clinical or academic staff within the host institution.
CRITERIA: Candidates for the host site must be members of the Society for Adolescent Health and Medicine. The recipient program or site will arrange a 2- to 4-day visit with the Professor at a mutually agreeable time during the year for which the award is given. Site applications will be considered on the basis of the institution’s ability to provide a large local audience, preferably comprised primarily of professionals concerned with adolescent health. Special preference will be given to institutions and organizations that are committed to developing or maintaining educational, clinical or training relationships with community-based organizations. It is desirable for the applicant location to be affiliated with a residency training program so physicians-in-training can have exposure to the visiting professor.
SELECTION PROCESS: Nominations for both the Hofmann Visiting Professor and the host site are accepted from any current member of SAHM. The SAHM Awards: Service Sub-Committee is charged with selecting the Visiting Professor and host site.
BUDGET AND ADMINISTRATION: The award is supported via restricted funds. The award includes an engraved plaque, an honorarium of $2,000, and reimbursement of travel expenses up to $1,500 for award recipients (receipts required). The host site awarded the professorship must agree to assume responsibility for travel expenses that exceed $1,500.
