Significant Member Honours

Have you heard that one of our members has received an honour, award or promotion? Give us the details and we will include it in the next edition.

Steve Judd

Stephen Judd was the recipient of a Medal of the Order of Australia in the recent Australia Day Honors. Steve has been head of the Endocrinology and Diabetes service at Flinders

Medical Centre since 1979 and since 1996 also head of the Reproductive Medicine service. He has had a particular interest in education and training in endocrinology. In this capacity, he has held a number of positions with the RACP, including the Clinical Examinations Committee, the Board of Censors and the Research Advisory Committee. He was responsible for initiating the Clinical Weekend meeting for the Endocrine Society of Australia and continues to contribute to this and other Society meetings. He has held a number of positions with the ESA and was Vice President in 1998.

Rob McLachlan

Rob was the recipient of the 2002 Eric Susman Prize for the Royal Australasian College of Physicians. This award is for the best contribution to the knowledge of any branch of internal medicine (adult medicine or paediatrics).

Evan Simpson

Evan has been nominated for the position of Vice President (Basic Scientist) of the Endocrine Society (US). This is a new position within this Society and we hope that Evan receives the appropriate support when elections are held shortly. This will be two Australians (John Funder is currently serving on the Council) who hold senior positions with our sister society: an extraordinary achievement and recognition of the standing of our senior members in the international endocrine community.
