Celebrating physicians: Nominations are open for 2024 CMA Awards

The Canadian Medical Association (CMA) is calling on members to nominate peers and colleagues for their significant contributions to health, healthcare and the medical profession for the annual CMA Awards. The nomination period will run until Nov. 30, 2023. Past recipients reflect the diversity of the profession and the communities they serve and come from different career stages, specialties and backgrounds, and from rural and remote areas as well as big cities. Check out the 2023 winners.
