Career Development: Awards & Contests

CASW established the Victor Cohn Prize for Excellence in Medical Reporting in 2000. The prize, which is given annually, seeks to honor a writer for a body of work published or broadcast within the last five years which, for reasons of uncommon clarity, accuracy, breadth of coverage, enterprise, originality, insight and narrative power, has made a profound and lasting contribution to public awareness and understanding of critical advances in medical science and their impact on human health and well-being.

The Awards for Excellence in Health Care Journalism, presented by AHCJ, recognize the best health reporting in print, broadcast and online media.
