The ACOEM represents more than 4,500 physicians and other healthcare professionals specializing in the field of occupational and environmental medicine. The Adolph G. Kammer Merit in Authorship Award was created in 1948 to recognize the author(s) of an article or publication of outstanding significance in occupational medicine, and was renamed in 1960 for Adolph G. Kammer, MD (1903-1962), an ACOEM past president (1951-1952) and first editor of the JOEM. In 1980, the criteria was changed to recognize the author(s) of the most outstanding article published in JOEM during a recent past year.
