Honored Member Awards
Each year, the Association selects an individual whose activities in the field of anatomy have contributed significantly and bestows on them the AACA Honored Member Award. Below is the list of these recipients to date. Their contributions to the field of clinical-anatomy can be seen by clicking on their name.
Active or past membership in the AACA is not a pre-requisite for the Honored Member Award. Past Council members must be one (1) year removed from Council to be eligible. Current Council members are not eligible. The same individual will not be awarded both the Honored Member Award and the R. Benton Adkins Jr. Distinguished Service Award in the same year.
