Nominate a physician for Country Doctor of the Year
Posted on: 9/12/18
Country doctors are not a thing of the past. Today, country doctors still make house calls, know their patients personally and dedicate themselves to the care of their community. To honor these exceptional physicians and recognize their continuing contribution to rural health care, Staff Care sponsors the Country Doctor of the Year Award. The award is presented each year to a physician who best exemplifies the spirit, skill and dedication of America’s rural medical practitioners.
Award winners receive complimentary locum tenens (temporary physician) coverage for two weeks, allowing them to take some time off, a service valued at $10,000. They also receive a personalized plaque, an engraved stethoscope, and a monogrammed lab coat, as well as an induction ceremony.
A link to the online nomination form is available on the
program website.
