The William F. Miller, MD Postgraduate Education Recognition Award will be awarded to assist qualified respiratory therapists in the pursuit of postgraduate education leading to an advanced degree. Applicants must be a respiratory therapist who has at least a Baccalaureate degree with a 3.0 cumulative GPA or better, or the equivalent. If no Baccalaureate degree, then a letter of matriculation from a graduate program and an undergraduate transcript will suffice. Applicants must also provide proof of acceptance into an advanced degree program of a fully accredited school and proof applicant is a candidate for a degree. Applicants must provide a letter of recommendation from the program director or other senior faculty member and two letters of recommendation from the medical director or other physician instructor attesting to: a) approval of candidate's paper, b) candidate's worthiness for the award, and c) candidate's potential for a career in the profession of respiratory care. Previous postgraduate award recipients may apply for, and receive, an award a second and third year if the applicant is maintaining good standing in an advanced degree program and is the most deserving candidate in the judgment of the Board of Trustees or its designated selection committee.
