This year’s nominees can be viewed by visiting http://pioneersinperformance.com/la .
The academy of past Pioneers in Performance recipients selected the nominees; the 2016-2017 honorees will be chosen by ballot. Voting is now open to the medical community and is available via the online site and at Gore pavilions at major clinical conferences throughout the year. Voting will close in February 2017 and ballots are kept confidential. Final winners will be honored during the 2017 CICE Symposium.

Nominees have demonstrated collaboration as it relates to improving patient and clinical performance: a commitment to ongoing learning, dedication to sharing knowledge with peers and patients, dedication to creating consensus within the medical community, and a dedication to analysis of outcomes.
