Awards

AFMC Young Educators Award

The AFMC Young Educators Award recognizes individuals within their first seven years as a faculty member who have produced change within their university or within the medical community as a whole through their vision, work, and interaction with colleagues. The award is open only to candidates with MD or graduate degrees. Nominees will often be recognized as outstanding teachers but this in itself will not be the basis for the award.

The award, which includes $500, will be presented at the 2009 Canadian Conference on Medical Education (Edmonton) May 2 - 6. The recipient will receive a complimentary registration for the conference and reimbursement of travel costs up to a maximum of $1,500. Other expenses for attending the conference are not covered.

Nomination Procedure

There will be a maximum of two nominations put forward by the dean of each faculty of medicine in Canada. The nomination must include a supporting curriculum vitae.

The deadline for receipt of nominations is November 14, 2008. The nomination, including 1 copy of all documentation, should be sent to AFMC.
