-
- The Alumni Humanitarian Award: Honors an alum who embodies the ideals of UW Medicine and whose career reflects an ongoing commitment to serve others through the practice of medicine, or whose research has contributed to greater communal good.
-
- The Medical Alumni Service Award: Recognizes an alum whose dedicated and determined efforts have benefited the UW School of Medicine and/or the UW School of Medicine Alumni Association and/or their community.
