The Alberta Medical Association is calling for Achievement Award nominations for individuals who have contributed to the improvement of the quality of health care in Alberta.
The Medal for Distinguished Service is given to a physician(s) who has made an outstanding personal contribution to medicine and to the people of Alberta, and in the process has contributed to the art and science of medicine while raising the standards of medical practice.
The Medal of Honor is awarded to a non-physician(s) who has raised the standards of health care and contributed to the advancement of medical research, medical education, health care organization, health education and/or health promotion to the public.
The AMA Award for Compassionate Service honors a physician who is AMA member and, during their career, has demonstrated outstanding compassion, philanthropy and/or volunteerism to improve the state of the community in which they are giving back.
The Medal for Excellence and Achievement in Rural/Remote Medicine is awarded to a physician(s) who has made an outstanding personal contribution to patients of rural/remote Alberta and to the community(ies) in which they live.
Nominations must be submitted by April 30. The awards will be presented at the AMA’s fall 2025 annual general meeting in Calgary.
To request a nomination form for these awards, please contact Sarah Zieminek, Administrative Assistant, Public Affairs, [email protected], 780-733-3633, toll-free at 1-800-272-9680, ext. 3633 or visit the AMA website.
