Dr. John D. Brown Award

Award Criteria

Please consider nominating one of your residents for the Dr. John D. Brown Award. Established by the family of the late Dr. John Brown in 2012, this award recognizes “a postgraduate trainee in any area of medicine who displays excellence in patient-centred care and reflects the values and practices of Dr. John Brown, who always put his patients first." At $5,300, this award represents a substantial commitment to promoting excellence among our residents in the foundational area of patient care.

To nominate a resident, a letter of support from their Program Director is required. Additional letters of support would strengthen the nomination, and might come from any of the following:

Teaching faculty
Resident, fellow, or student colleagues
Other health care professionals
Patients and/or their families

The deadline for nominations to be received is Friday, March 15, 2024.

Nomination packages will be considered by the Postgraduate Awards Committee in April, and a recipient selected for presentation at the annual Schulich Awards of Excellence event in May.
