Nominations are being accepted for the 2008-09 Ernest and Sarah Butler Awards for Excellence in Science Teaching. The TMA program was started in 1990 as a way for organized medicine to instill greater recognition for the value of science and of innovative teaching to inspire students to consider medicine and other science-related fields of study.
The awards will be presented at TexMed 2009 in Austin next May.

Dr. and Mrs. Ernest C. Butler, of Austin, for whom the program is named, are annual supporters through a permanent endowment the couple established at the TMA Foundation in the late 1990s. The foundation is the philanthropic arm of TMA.
Additional major support for this year's program was provided from Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Texas, Memorial Hermann Healthcare System, Houston, and the Dr. Bob and Jean Smith Foundation, Dallas.
