Aaron D. Bossler, MD, PhD, Director of Molecular Pathology Laboratory and Molecular Genetic Pathology Fellowship Program at the University of Iowa Hospitals & Clinics received the Association for Molecular Pathology (AMP) Meritorious Service Award. The award was presented by AMP President, Elaine Lyon, PhD. AMP Meritorious Service Award was presented at the AMP Annual Meeting November 19, 2014, in National Harbor, Maryland.

The AMP Meritorious Service Award recognizes an AMP member for particularly estimable service to the organization. The Recipient has demonstrated exceptional dedication and effort, over time and often behind-the-scenes, to provide invaluable service to AMP and its membership. In addition, the recipient generally also provides especially notable service to the molecular pathology profession.

The Meritorious Service Award is distinct from the AMP Leadership Award in that service is an opportunity available to AMP members at any stage of their career and is often out of the spotlight afforded those in leadership positions.

The award is not necessarily given annually but only when it is determined that service exists that warrants this special recognition. More than one recipient may be acknowledged if warranted.
