Nominations are now being sought for the Moffic Award for Ethical Practice in Community Psychiatry, sponsored by the American Association of Community Psychiatry, the Moffic family, and an anonymous donor.

The award is an expanded version of a prior award that focused solely on managed care in the public sector and now covers any ethical challenge in community psychiatry.

Nominations are invited of any clinician, administrator, organization, or consumer who has met ethical challenges in the public sector, such as those related to managed care, relationships with pharmaceutical companies, political activism, stigma reduction, education, consumer advocacy, and treatment and service delivery.

The award includes presentation at a national meeting and at least $2,000.

Nominations should be sent by January 1, 2005, to Steve Moffic, M.D., by e-mail at bpernitz@mail.mcw.edu or fax at (414) 456-6295. ▪
