Society of General Internal Medicine Awards
The Society of General Internal Medicine (SGIM) Northwest Region has developed rigorous criteria that recognize outstanding clinical educators, researchers, advocacy & community service, and leaders. These criteria go beyond those traditionally used for identifying those with excellence in research criteria, such as peer‐reviewed publications or grant support.
