Each year, three outstanding faculty members are selected for the UA-MEZCOPH Awards of Distinction recognizing outstanding research; community service and public-health practice; and teaching. Usually the awards are given at a University-wide ceremony hosted by the UA Provost, and other College and University Department present their Awards of Distinction and recognize outstanding achievements.

The awards for 2008 are listed in the following table, with links to more information for each award:

The MEZCOPH Awards are given and labelled for the previous year's efforts, and so are listed a little differently than the Arizona Health Sciences Center or other awards.  For example, in the spring of 2009, the awards for 2008 were distributed.  The 2009 awards will be given in the spring of 2010, and so on.
