Description

The Jimmy A. Young Memorial Education Recognition Award will be given in memory of Jimmy A. Young, past president of the AARC, who personally contributed greatly to respiratory care education. Applicants must be enrolled in an accredited respiratory care training program as an undergraduate student. The foundation prefers that nominations be made by a representative of the school or an accredited respiratory training program, however, any student may initiate a request for sponsorship in order that a deserving candidate is not denied the opportunity to compete simply because the school does not initiate the application. Preference will be given to nominees of minority origin. An original referenced paper on some aspect of respiratory care must be submitted. The paper should include a cover page giving only the title of the paper. The paper should be devoid of any information such as the applicant's name, address, or school that could provide a bias in the evaluation. Candidates must also submit letters of recommendation from the program director or other senior faculty member and from the medical director or other physician instructor attesting to: approval of candidate's paper; candidate's worthiness for the award; and the candidate's potential for a career in the profession of respiratory care. Previous undergraduate award recipients are eligible to reapply. Please visit the award's website or contact the American Respiratory Care Foundation for more information.
