Criteria
- You can’t nominate yourself. (Sorry, get one of your colleagues or trainees to do it.)
- Include the nominator’s name, the nominee’s name, and a way to contact both of you.
- Nominators must attach a 200-600 word explanation to this form on why the nominee should win the award.
- Nominees must be a practicing attending-level physician or dentist.
- Nominees don’t necessarily need to be an “academic” doctor.
- Nominees must speak and write reasonably competent English.
- Nominees cannot be a financial professional OR have a business that compensates them for teaching doctors about personal finance. No financial bloggers, financial podcasters, financial advisors, insurance agents, etc. Anybody can submit a nomination.
- The nominee must agree to be named and pictured on the blog. The nominator can nominate without permission, but the nominee must give permission to us before they can win. (The $1,000 and CV entry will hopefully be enough incentive.)
- The nominator’s name and submission will be published with the name and a picture of the nominee and perhaps a few words of advice from the nominee to their fellow educators.
- There will be only one winner.
- A nominee can only win once. Sorry to all previous winners, you’re done.
- Make sure to fill out this form to nominate someone.
The selection committee consists of the WCI staff. Yes, we’re completely biased in favor of those who are dedicated to teaching personal finance and investing to doctors without regard to specialty, gender, race, religion, nationality, skin color, or sexual orientation. Don’t even tell us about any of that stuff in your nomination because we don’t care. We want to hear about what your nominee did to help doctors become financially literate. If you are nominated independently by multiple persons, that nomination will carry additional weight.
