The award will be given to an ACOG Fellow who has mentored a Young Physician or Junior Fellow in Practice.  Teachers of residents are not eligible.  The award requires a nomination by a Young Physician or Junior Fellow in Practice and must be associated with mentoring in the early years of practice.
