The Saskatchewan Medical Association is seeking nominations for its annual prestigious Physician of the Year Award for 2017.
The public is invited to nominate a Saskatchewan physician who is making a difference in his or her community, or within the province’s medical community. The nomination deadline is April 3, 2017.
The award will be presented at the spring meeting of the SMA’s Representative Assembly on May 5-6, 2017, in Saskatoon. Nominations will be accepted from other physicians, citizens, communities, sections and regional medical associations.
A summary of the candidate’s achievements and why he or she should be considered is all that is required. All submissions will be forwarded to the SMA Appointments and Awards Committee for consideration.
The Board of Directors adjudicates the award. The nominee must be an SMA member and be living in Saskatchewan at the time of the nomination.
The award is presented for outstanding contributions made by a physician either during a particular time span or throughout his or her career.
Physician contributions can be made in the medical profession or volunteer sector and can be to a community or district, or at the provincial, national or international level. Each nomination must include a summary of the candidate’s achievements and at least one letter of reference.
