Canadian Medical Association Awards
Overview
The Canadian Medical Association’s annual awards celebrate changemakers from across the country for their significant contributions to health, health care and the medical profession.
Award Categories & Eligibility
For more details on the eligibility criteria for each award, please refer to their terms of reference (linked below):
Award for Young Leaders (two awards are given each year in each of these categories: student, resident, early-career physician)
Dr. Brian Brodie Organizational Leadership Development Award (two awards: one student, one resident)
Dr. Léo-Paul Landry Medal of Service (formerly Medal of Service)
Nomination Process
The selection of CMA award recipients is a two-step process:
1. Submit a Nomination Application
Confirm that your candidate is eligible for that award and that you are eligible to nominate them. Please note all nominees and nominators, with the exception of nominees for the Owen Adams Award of Honour, must be CMA members in good standing. Self-nomination is also not permitted, with the exception of the Dr. Brian Brodie Organizational Leadership Development Award and the Dr. Ashok Muzumdar Memorial Award for Physicians with Disabilities.
Gather the information you’ll need to nominate your candidate. View the printable checklist for more details. In brief, here’s what you’ll need to supply:
Full contact information for your candidate (i.e., the nominee) and for yourself
A nomination letter (max. two page) describing why you think your candidate deserves to win the award
Two letters of support (max. two pages each)
Your candidate’s bio or CV (max. three pages)
Complete the online nomination form found at the bottom of this page. If you’ve got everything on hand, this will take fewer than 15 minutes.
2. Nomination Application Review
Submitted forms are reviewed by staff to ensure eligibility criteria are met. Note: If your application does not meet the eligibility criteria, you will be informed within five business days.
Nominees will be notified about their nomination in December and will be given two weeks to provide a bio and consent for sharing their bio and photo should they be the selected winner.
Applications meeting eligibility criteria will be reviewed by CMA’s Awards Committee in early February.
Recipients of awards will be notified in late February or early March. If the person you nominated is not selected, we’ll contact you in April and invite you to resubmit your candidate for the following year’s award (where applicable).
Please note: CMA conducts open-source intelligence social media verifications on the selected nominees through a third-party vendor. This can take up to an additional month for nominators and award recipients to be notified following the Awards Committee Review.
Should fewer than three nominations be received for an award, that award will not be given out and the nomination(s) will be automatically considered for the following year.
If you have any questions or concerns about the nomination process, please email awards@cma.ca.
