Nominations for the Dennis W. Jahnigen Career Development Scholars Program are to be made by the individual's departmental chair in any one of the following specialties: anesthesiology, emergency medicine, general surgery, gynecology, ophthalmology, orthopaedic surgery, otolaryngology, physical medicine and rehabilitation, thoracic surgery, or urology. Departments may submit one application. Institutions may submit more than one application. For each Jahnigen Career Development Scholar application, two full time faculty members at the candidate's institution must agree to serve as mentors to help guide the scholar's research and career planning and provide access to organizations, programs, and colleagues helpful to the applicant's efforts. Although more than two mentors may be selected, at least one must be from the department in which the candidate has a primary appointment and at least one must be from the geriatric medicine program within the same institution. These mentors should be carefully and thoughtfully considered and a robust relationship must be described in detail as the selection panel relies heavily on this mentor(s)/protégé partnership in prioritizing applications. Letters of endorsement, including specific information on institutional support for the Jahnigen Scholar applicant, should be provided by the dean, the relevant department chairp, and each mentor. In addition, three letters of reference should be provided by others with whom the applicant has worked and who are well acquainted with the candidate's capabilities, accomplishments, commitment and aspirations.
