Call for applications

The American Association for the History of Medicine (AAHM) is proud to announce the establishment of the George Rosen Prize.

The Award is named in honor of George Rosen, physician, public health administrator, past President of the AAHM, and a major contributor to the history of public health and social medicine. The AAHM Council established the award in 2014 thanks to the generosity of the Rosen family.
