The ACC Distinguished Awards program recognizes individuals making contributions to the cardiovascular profession. It's time to honor those in our community making a difference - nominate a deserving colleague for one of the 2023 Distinguished Awards! What makes a distinguished award winner? They demonstrate leadership; promote the advancement of science and innovation; bring energy and compassion to their teaching and engage in acts of service in their hometowns or across the globe. If you had an educator, mentor or teacher that has helped you through your training and early career, now is the time to honor them! As part of our broader slate of Distinguished Awards, we're looking for nominations for Distinguished Teacher, Gifted Educator and Distinguished Mentor awards.

Nominations for the 2023 Distinguished Awards are due Sept. 30. Learn more.
