With rare exceptions, candidates must be at the associate professor level or higher and hold a faculty position at either a U.S. or Canadian medical, dental or public health school (see our FAQs for more information). They must be nominated by either the dean of their medical, dental or public health school or the CEO of their academic health center.

An institution may nominate up to two candidates and must be prepared to support however many are accepted.
