ALPHARETTA, Ga., Nov. 7, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- LocumTenens.com is now accepting nominations for its annual MedicalMissions.org Physician of the Year Award. Now in its third year, the awards program honors physicians who donate their time to help underserved patients in the United States and abroad gain access to critically-needed healthcare services. The deadline for nominations is Dec. 19, 2014. Nominations can be submitted at www.missionphysician.org. The awards program is open to doctors of medicine (M.D.) or doctors of osteopathic medicine (D.O.).
Two physician honorees will be selected, one for domestic charity work and one for international charity work. LocumTenens.com will donate $10,000 on behalf of each honoree to the medical mission organization of his or her choice. Last year, the company received more than 150 nominations for the award. Past winners are profiled on the LocumTenens.com website.
LocumTenens.com has donated more than $75,000 to mission-related charities on behalf of its honorees over the past two years. The company supports medical volunteerism by sponsoring charitable trips for its physician clients and associates to travel and serve on medical missions in developing countries like Honduras, where access to quality healthcare services is often limited. The company also underwrites and supports the medicalmission.org website, which allows healthcare workers and not-for-profit organizations seeking medical volunteers to connect in order to aid underserved patients around the world.
"We are amazed at the stories we hear as part of the nomination process every year," said R. Shane Jackson, president of LocumTenens.com. "Through this awards program, we are pleased to be able to honor physicians who are so giving of their time and talents to those who otherwise would go without care. We look forward to reading the nominations and selecting two new honorees this year for their charitable work."
