ACP Laureate Awards
The Laureate Award honours those Fellows of the American College of Physicians who have demonstrated, by their example and conduct, an abiding commitment to excellence in medical care, education or research and service to the community and to the ACP. This award is the most prestigious honor bestowed to a chapter member in Ontario.
Awards are presented at the annual meeting of the Ontario Chapter. Potential awardees may be nominated by any member of the Ontario Chapter. It is expected that awardees will be senior physicians, those being Fellows for at least 15 to 20 years with a long history of excellence and peer approval in the specialty of internal medicine.
In Ontario, we have bestowed two Laureate Awards. One is primarily focused for a recipient who has provided distinguished service to the Chapter and to the ACP. The other is to recognize outstanding academic distinction.
Congratulations to this year's awardees Dr. Gordon Guyatt, FACP, for his outstanding research contributions and Dr. Ameen Patel, FACP, for distinguished service.
