CARE Awards
The CARE awards are intended to recognize sustained excellence of contributions in the four core areas that reflect the mission and vision of our Department: Clinical Service, Advocacy and Leadership, Research, and Education.
The recipients of this award have demonstrated excellent achievements in direct clinical care, going over and above in their contributions to patient care provision (For example: development of a clinical program for a vulnerable group or significantly affecting quality of life for a patient population through advancements in care delivery). This award recognizes not only clinical competence, but also the ability to deliver care with great commitment and compassion. Recipients of this award demonstrate high levels of professionalism in dealing with patients, families, colleagues, support staff and community services.
