Medical Design & Outsourcing and seven members of our team are finalists for more than a dozen American Society of Business Publication Editors (ASBPE) Awards of Excellence.

ASBPE Awards of Excellence, also called Azbee Awards, recognize the highest quality reporting, editing and design in business-to-business, trade, association and professional publications.

MDO won five national and nine regional Azbee Awards. All finalists win awards of gold, silver, bronze or honorable mention. ASBPE will announce regional winners in April and national winners in May.
