| The Meritorious Service Award is OEMAC’s official recognition of individuals who have made exemplary contributions to the growth and development of occupational and environmental medicine. Fields include contributions to OHS legislation, worker health and safety, research, education and professional bodies. The Committee members consider every nomination received on the basis of whether or not the individual nominated has been shown by the nominator to have made a significant contribution above and beyond professional duties. A single outstanding contribution to occupational and environmental medicine could be the basis of a nomination or continuous contributions over a career. |
| Who can be Nominated? Anyone – Nominees need not be nor have been OEMAC members or even physicians (but the contribution must have been to occupational and environmental medicine). All completed nominations must be received by the Committee by the announced deadline for consideration for presentation at the OEMAC national conference that same year. Nominations received after that deadline are retained for consideration the following year. Any current OEMAC member may nominate one or any number of individuals. There are no limits on the number of times an individual’s name may be re-submitted. However, an award will only be made to an individual once. |
| How to Submit a Nomination Return the completed nomination form provided here to the OEMAC Secretariat by the deadline. The form requires you to provide information about the nominee and the contribution(s) he or she has made that you feel merit reception of the MSA. To avoid disappointment to the nominee, please keep nominations confidential. |
