Purpose

The APCCMPD Award for Medical Education Research recognizes outstanding contributions and commitment to medical education research in undergraduate or graduate medical education in pulmonary, critical care, and pulmonary/critical care medicine. Program Directors, Associate Program Directors, faculty members, junior faculty and Fellows are encouraged to submit their abstracts.
  • The APCCMPD Award for Medical Education Research is awarded to one APCCMPD member annually.
  • Applicants must submit an abstract describing successful research (with preliminary outcomes) in medical education accomplished within their training program.
  • Abstracts must describe the methods used.
  • Abstracts must provide preliminary outcomes and results data.

The APCCMPD values all contributions to medical education and would like to provide ways for medical educators to further enhance their CV's. All authors and their abstracts, regardless of award status, will be recognized in APCCMPD’s quarterly newsletter, on the APCCMPD website, and in the APCCMPD 2025 Annual Conference Awards Program, as well as given the opportunity to present a scientific poster of their abstract at the APCCMPD Annual Conference.
