Two things must happen in order for those submitting to achieve recognition as World Class in a given category. First, the program team must achieve World Class status according to the criteria developed by Franklyn Thiebaud, founder of the ABPM and continually examined by the ABPM Advisory Board. Second, the program team must demonstrate to the judges in their documentation that they have indeed achieved that World Class status. If both of the above was the case, jurors awarded a World Class award in that category. Neither of those two things is easy, and not all programs who were candidates for these awards were recognized. For that reason, all of the programs that are recognized, whether they received World Class recognition or recognition for Excellence, are to be congratulated. |
