Plasma Medicine Award
The Plasma Medicine Award (PMA) is the highest recognition awarded by the
International Society for Plasma Medicine (ISPM) for
lifetime achievements in the field of the Plasma Medicine. Normally, the PMA is awarded by the
ISPM Board
typically to one individual every two years during the International Conference on Plasma Medicine.
However, it is at the discretion of the ISPM Board to award the PMA to multiple individuals or to no individual.
The following procedure will be used to implement this rule:
1. The ISPM president will request nominations for candidates for the PMA no later than three months before the ISPM Board
meeting at the International Conference on Plasma Medicine (ICPM).
2. Nominations will be requested from the entire membership of the ISPM. Nominations need to contain a nomination letter,
describing the lifetime achievements of the candidate and a complete curriculum vitae.
