The Health Sciences Education External Awards Committee would like to submit nominations to the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada (RCPSC) for the following two education awards:

Duncan Graham Award for Outstanding Contribution to Medical Education

One of the notable and outstanding awards that The Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada may bestow upon an individual is the Duncan Graham Award in Medical Education. This national award is named in honor of the late Dr. Duncan Graham, chair of the Department of Medicine of the University of Toronto from 1919 to 1947.

This national honorary award will recognize lifelong contribution to medical education.

Royal College AMS Donald Richards Wilson Award for CanMEDS Integration

The Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada, in collaboration with Associated Medical Services, Inc. has established an award to honour and acknowledge the contribution of Dr. Donald R. Wilson (President, RCPSC, 1988-1990) to medical education.

This award is given annually to a medical educator or a leader of a team, program, or department who has demonstrated excellence in integrating the CanMEDS roles into a Royal College or other health related training program.

As in the past, we are writing to request that you review the two awards above and consider nominating someone in your department/unit whom you feel has contributed significantly to medical education. Please read the eligibility guidelines for your chosen award carefully to ensure that your nominee is eligible for the award before submitting.

We would appreciate if you could please let us know whom you wish to nominate for these highly competitive awards before August 11, 2023, by sending an e-mail to Elizabeth Stafiej (resource-ihse.med [at] mcgill.ca) with the following information.
