Awards

Awards

CAME seeks to both foster and celebrate excellence in medical education. We aim to do so via four main routes.

The CAME Awards

The CAME Awards highlight the amazing contributions of members in our community. The purpose of the CAME awards is to recognize excellence in medical education.

Criteria and documentation vary for each award, so please review each carefully before submitting your nomination.

CAME Service Award

This award recognizes individuals who have demonstrated a commitment to improving education in medical education. This award will be presented to an individual who has made major contributions to service and leadership in medical education in Canada.

CAME Mid-Career Achievement 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.
