Alumni Relations
The KU Medical Center Alumni Associations annually present the Distinguished and Honorary Alumni Awards, and the Early Career Achievement Award during KUMC Alumni Reunion to a deserving alumnus of each school. These are the highest honors the KUMC Alumni Associations bestow upon graduates of the KU Schools of Allied Health, Medicine and Nursing and those who have made outstanding contributions to the health care professions.


    The Distinguished Alumnus Awards will be presented to living graduates from each of the KU Schools of Allied Health, Medicine and Nursing. The award recognizes an individual's noteworthy contributions to the University of Kansas, their field and to the health of all people through patient care, basic and clinical research, teaching skills and/or health services administration. The recipients will demonstrate the highest principles of the health care professions and serve as a role model for current and future health care professionals.
