The Royal College’s awards program honours the personal achievements of specialist physicians and recognizes the importance and potential impact of exceptional original research. Our program also supports visiting professorships, which help broaden knowledge and foster scientific dialogue in specialty medicine.
Many of our awards recognize vital qualities in specialist physicians such as a lifelong contribution to medical education, extraordinary leadership, and a tendency to work above and beyond established norms of practice and health care. By honouring remarkable physicians each year, we formally recognize the core qualities that distinguish a Fellow of the Royal College.
