Major Caraveo National Service Award

Army psychologist Maj. L. Eduardo Caraveo, PhD, dedicated his life to helping people for whom mental health care is often out of reach, but that life was cut tragically short on November 5, 2009, when he was among those shot by an Army psychiatrist at Fort Hood in Killeen, Texas.

To honor Caraveo, Division 55 (Society for Prescribing Psychology) has created an annual award in his honor. The Major Caraveo National Service Award recognizes a medical or prescribing psychologist who strives to help underserved populations, as Caraveo did throughout his career.

Please submit nominations, including letters of nominations or other attestations, to 2025 Division 55 Awards Chair Lynette Pujol, PhD, MSCP, in electronic format only.
