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.

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.
