George Northup, D.O. Educator of the Year Award

The George W. Northup Educator of the Year Award was developed in honor of George Northup, D.O., who acted as a mentor to many osteopathic medical students throughout his career, often going above and beyond the call of duty to improve students' educational experiences.
Each year, local SOMA chapters nominate a professor, dean, or faculty member from their osteopathic medical school who exemplifies the qualities of Dr. Northup. Nominees in the past have provided countless additional hours to students during exam preparation, have opened their homes to students, volunteered in the community, and acted as a friend when needed.
We are have 4 nominees this year! The 2022 George W. Northup Educator of the Year will be selected by ballot at the SOMA Spring Convention. The winning nominee will be recognized at the 2022 SOMA Foundation Fall Reception at OMED. Stay tuned!
