Nominations are now being accepted for the 2006 Alwin C. Rambar-James B.D. Mark Award for Excellence in Patient Care.

Nominations are open to all Stanford physicians, regardless of where they deliver care.

The award, which is presented at Medical School Commencement, was established in 1984 to recognize and honor a Stanford physician who excels in patient care, exemplified by his or her ability to meld competence with compassion, and who works productively with all members of the health care team.

Last year’s recipient was oncologist George Fisher.

Submit nominations for the 2006 Award to Lisa Joo, Medical School Office Building, 251 Campus Drive, Room XC041, Stanford, CA 94305 or by email, lisa.joo@stanford.edu.

Nominations are due by April 10.
