The Maine Medical Association presents the Mary F. Cushman, MD Award each year to recognize the humanitarian service of Maine medical volunteers who serve many hours - in Maine, throughout the United States, or abroad - to help the less fortunate of humanity.  The award is announced at the Association’s Annual Session in September.

Priority consideration is given to:

• the nomination of a Maine physician who is a member of the Maine Medical Association.
• nominations submitted by members of the Maine Medical Association.
• nominations that, for international volunteering, include training people in other countries to provide care in their own communities.

Nominations for the 2018 award are due by August 1, 2018 and should describe the volunteer’s activities and contributions to the profession.  The nomination form is available at http://www.mainemed.com/annual-session.
