Next Steps for Nominees and Candidates
After the selection committee accepts a nomination, the Dean of Medical Education Office will contact the nominated individual to confirm that they are willing to be considered as a nominee for the award.- Upon initial review by the Selection Committee, if you are selected to be a Candidate for the final review, the individuals submitting the nomination will be asked to submit the names of five individuals to be asked to write letters of recommendation on your behalf. At least three of these individuals must be faculty at Baylor College of Medicine. You should establish, together with your nominators, a list of individuals you would like letters to be requested from, prior to the date for notification of nominees selected for further review.
Individuals who write letters of recommendation should know you and your work at Baylor well, be well established in the College or your discipline, and represent, as a group, a diversity of perspectives.
While the committee will review your curriculum vitae and biosketch submitted with the nomination letter, it is anticipated that the letters of recommendation will have a great influence on the selection of award recipients.
