The Award

This award recognizes a CAME member who is mid-career (i.e., 10-20 years since their first faculty appointment) and who demonstrates a continued pattern of meaningful contribution to medical education. This award is not intended to be a lifetime achievement award, but rather a recognition for those who consistently are working towards ensuring best practices in medical education across the continuum of training.

There are two categories for this award: one for PhDs (or equivalent), and one for MDs. Nominees are expected to demonstrate that throughout their careers, they have shown a commitment to working towards excellence in medical teaching and/or scholarship, through contributions including (but not restricted to) mentorship, publications, policy and guidelines documents, innovative approaches to instruction, assessment methods and tools, curriculum design, and/or development of learning resources.

The award will be presented at the CAME Awards Cocktail Reception on Thursday, April 3, 2025  during the International Congress on Academic Medicine (ICAM) in Halifax, Nova Scotia.
