Each year, the Medical Library Association, its own Hospital Libraries Section, and the Friends of the National Library of Medicine give a variety of awards, grants, and scholarships to individuals in recognition and support of the valuable contributions they have made to the health sciences librarianship profession. MLA’s professional recognition program supports and encourages the best and brightest in the field.
