This honor is awarded annually to the resident in each program who exemplifies clinical excellence. The Miller Coulson Academy of Clinical Excellence (MCACE) defines clinical excellence as achieving a level of mastery in six key areas as they relate to patient care.

This honor is awarded annually to the resident in each program who exemplifies clinical excellence. This award was created in memory of Mr. Coulson, who was particularly interested in supporting the development of the next generation of clinically excellent physicians. In his profession, he was a renowned mentor who thoughtfully and passionately supported the growth and development of many.

This annual award for clinical excellence is given to exceptional doctors-in-training (and potential future Academy members) in all Johns Hopkins residency programs. It honors commitment to professional excellence and aims to promote excellence in patient care at Johns Hopkins for the benefit of the individuals and communities that we serve.

The House Staff Council is the self-governing and representative body of the interns and residents of the Johns Hopkins Hospital and the Bayview campus. The resident appreciation award is based on nominations by fellow residents to the residents whom they believe provide exceptional patient care and exemplify a compassionate approach in their interactions with patients, staff and colleagues.
