Fellows are invited to make nominations for three Society medals to be awarded in 2010

The Manson Medal is awarded triennially. It is the Society's highest mark of distinction, made to the person whose contribution to any branch of tropical medicine or hygiene is considered by Council to merit the honour most.

The Chalmers Medal is awarded each year in recognition of research contributing to the knowledge of tropical medicine or tropical hygiene.  Only persons under the age of 46 on 1 June of the year of award are eligible for this award.

The Donald Mackay Medal is awarded for outstanding work in tropical health, especially relating to improvement in the health of rural or urban workers in the tropics. Preference is given to medically qualified candidates, but those in other disciplines are eligible. RSTMH will award this medal in 2010 and ASTMH in 2011.

Nominations for medals may be made by any Fellow of the Society on forms available from the Society (info@rstmh.org) or downloaded from here.

Completed forms should be returned to info@rstmh.org by 28 February 2010.
