The Robert J. Glaser Award Recognizes outstanding contributions to research, education, leadership and mentoring in generalism in medicine and is presented at the SGIM Annual Meeting as a feature of a plenary session. This award is supported by grants from the Henry J. Kaiser Family Foundation, the Commonwealth Fund, and many individual contributions.

    The formulation of educational policy on the broadest level in the field of general internal medicine;
  • The establishment of innovative educational programs that have served as models elsewhere;
