Nomination Deadline is January 14, 2012
Each year there are individuals in the State of Michigan who distinguish themselves by their actions on behalf of the MAFP or the community at large, including the local, state, national and international levels. The Archie W. Bedell, MD, PhD Award of Excellence (“The Archie”) was established by the Board in 2001 to honor such individuals.
The Archie Award of Excellence is named in honor of the late Archie W. Bedell, MD, PhD, of Ottawa Lake, Michigan. Dr. Bedell was a long-time member of the MAFP and a past president. Throughout his professional career, Dr. Bedell distinguished himself in service to the MAFP, the specialty of family medicine, and to the community at large, including the local, state, national and international levels. He was a pioneer in family medicine education and a champion of under-represented constituents. The establishment of “The Archie” Award of Excellence serves to honor Dr. Bedell’s lifetime work on behalf of the specialty of family medicine and the MAFP and in turn honors individuals who have distinguished themselves in service to the MAFP or the community at large.
