Circle of Excellence (COE) Award

Each year at the annual conference, AMGO recognizes one or more of our members with the COE Award. As AMGO's highest honor, the COE recognizes academic medicine administration leaders and members who have exhibited exceptional leadership, service and commitment to the organization. Upon reaching 50 points of service, induction into the Circle of Excellence is granted. 

The criteria for achievement of the COE award involves earning points for committee work, being an officer on the Board of Directors, presenting a professional workshop at the annual meeting and more. Members track & submit their time and activities each year.

Honorary Lifetime Membership is granted to a member who no longer meets the criteria for active membership and is a member of the Circle of Excellence.
