Clinical Care Excellence Award

The DOM APP Clinical Care Excellence Award was established to recognize and celebrate outstanding clinical prowess manifested in expert clinical skills, extensive medical knowledge and exemplary patient relationships. It is intended to acknowledge the value of clinical medicine and honors clinical role models among our APPs. Individuals who qualify for this award possess an admirable approach to patient care and a commitment to care for all patients. While perhaps intangible, an individual possessing clinical excellence is easy to recognize; it is the individual you would choose to care for your family and the individual you seek for an opinion on the most complex patients.

In addition to the considerations above, nominees should possess several of the following characteristics:

• Diagnostic acumen
• Skill in clinical therapeutics
• Empathy
• Sensitivity and respect for diversity
• Commitment to honesty and transparency
• Trustworthiness in all interactions

In addition, the committee will give consideration to performance that allows comparison of individuals to their peers such as compliance with specialty guidelines and/or specialty performance measures.
