Nomination Deadline Reminder | 2019 CAME Certificate of Merit

There is a wonderful way to acknowledge Medical Educators across the Faculty of Medicine and throughout the medical educator community of Canada...
 
Every year, the Canadian Association of Medical Educators recognizes outstanding educators in Canadian Medical Schools through a variety of annual awards. Among these are the CAME Certificate of Merit Awards, which recognize faculty committed to advancing medical education.

The University of Toronto is entitled to award up to 3 of these Certificates of Merit, and last year, we were very pleased to recognize Drs. Ryan Brydges, Nicole Woods and Rick Penciner for their significant contributions to medical education.
 
At this time, we invite you to submit nominations for the 2019 CAME Certificate of Merit competition.
 
Nominee Criteria  
CAME Certificate of Merit recipients will have made a valuable contribution to medical education (within any portfolio, including undergraduate, postgraduate, continuing education and faculty development) in the areas of teaching, evaluation, leadership, course coordination, etc., but will not have already been nationally recognized for this contribution. Recipients need not be members of CAME.
 
Nomination Procedures
Each Department and Education Centre of the Faculty of Medicine at the University of Toronto is eligible to nominate one faculty member for a Certificate of Merit.  The nomination must be made by a CAME member with a letter of support from the Department Chair or Vice-Chair Education, or Education Centre Director as appropriate, outlining the specific contributions of the faculty member in the area of education. If you are not sure as to who in your Department is a CAME member, please contact me (anne.matlow@utoronto.ca) for this information. Letters should not exceed two pages, and it is not necessary to append CVs, teaching dossiers or other documents. A decision about the 3 awardees will be made by a selection committee and will be made based on the letter from the Department Chair, Vice-Chair or Education Centre Director.
 
Nomination letters should be submitted electronically by November 14 to Dr. Anne Matlow, U of T’s CAME Representative, c/o the Office of the Education Vice-Deans at medicine.awards@utoronto.ca.
