Honoring Excellence at the ABPS Annual Leadership Meeting 2026

June 13th, 2026

This past Saturday, I had the pleasure of photographing the American Board of Physician Specialties (ABPS) annual leadership meeting for the fourth year in a row.

What started as a simple photography assignment has grown into something much more meaningful to me. Photographing these well established medical practitioners every year truly feels like working with family.

The highlight of the day was the presentation of five prestigious awards recognizing outstanding leadership and service to the organization:

 

  • Dr. Jeffrey B. Streicker, DO, MBA, FAASD – Thomas J. Ebner Leadership Award
  • Dr. Sarah E. Gilbert, MD, FAAAP – Leadership in Certification Award
  • Dr. Elizabeth Maxwell Smith, MD, FAAEP, FACEP – Visionary Leadership Award
  • Jeff Morris – 2026 EO Martin Award
  • Dr. Leslie Mukau, MD, FAAEP, FACEP – 2026 EO Martin Award

 

It was a true honor to capture these special moments as each honoree gave a commemorative speech after receiving their award.

ABPS is a nationally recognized multi-specialty certifying body that as existed for 74 years and continues to uphold the highest standards in physician certification across a wide range of medical specialties.

As they continue to grow their membership and advance their mission of clinical excellence, ABPS remains a strong “no-nonsense” certifying organization for physicians.
