George W. Northup, DO, Medical Writing Award Recipients, 1991 – 2007

The George W. Northup, DO, Medical Writing Award is an annual award created in 1990 to honor George W. Northup, DO, who served as American Osteopathic Association (AOA) editor in chief for 26 years. Thomas Wesley Allen, DO, who succeeded Dr Northup as editor in chief, proposed the award to recognize excellence in writing and scholarship in articles published in The Journal.

Each year, the AOA editor in chief and JAOA associate editors nominate the articles to be considered. The JAOA Editorial Advisory Board then selects the winner from the nominees on the basis of clinical significance, scientific validity, and osteopathic content. Selection is also based on an article's contribution to changing the way osteopathic physicians practice medicine, think, and conduct research.

This annual award is presented in the year following publication at the AOA Annual Convention and Scientific Seminar.
