CAME Rising Star – Certificate of Excellence

These National Awards are adjudicated at each university via a process led by the local CAME Board Representative. The CAME representative will set up a selection committee and a mechanism for identification and selection of candidates from their institution.

To find out more about the process, and submission deadlines at your local institution, please contact your CAME Board Representative. A list of our local representatives can be found on our Directors & Committees Page.

The deadline for CAME Board Representatives to submit their list of winners to CAME is: December 2, 2024

 Objectives
This award is intended to recognize learners who have demonstrated a commitment and/or passion for health professions education. This could be education research, curriculum or workshop development, leadership, advocacy, etc, that has had a positive impact on the health professions education community at their school or beyond.

The Award
The CAME Rising Star Certificate of Excellence consists of a certificate and the opportunity to write an article for the CAME newsletter. There are up to three awards at each Canadian Faculty of medicine: up to one for medical students; up to one for residents/fellows; up to one for graduate students. For the 2024-2025 cycle the initial nomination does not need to be made by a CAME member. Members currently serving on the CAME Executive or CAME Board of Directors are not eligible as nominees. The award is adjudicated locally at each Faculty of medicine; contact your local CAME representative for details of the nomination process.

* The CAME Awards Committee has no role in adjudicating the CAME Rising Star Certificate of Excellence. While sponsored by CAME, these awards are adjudicated locally by CAME Board School Representatives and their committees.
