George M. Kober Medal and Lectureship

The George M. Kober Medal and Lectureship are two different awards by the Association of American Physicians (AAP) in honor of one of its early presidents, George M. Kober. The George M. Kober Lectureship, is an honor given to an AAP member "for outstanding research contributions which have extraordinary impact on patients"; beginning in 1925, the Lectureship has been awarded every three years. The George M. Kober Medal, started in 1927, has, beginning in 1929, been awarded annually (except for 1944 and 1946) to an AAP member "whose lifetime efforts have had an enormous impact ..."
