Award Information
2024 Dr. Marnie Hinton Resident Wellness Award - Presented by Office of Resident Affairs and Physician Wellness
Dr. Marnie Hinton was a long-time Alberta physician, trained in Great Britain, who dedicated her life to physician health.

Dr. Hinton worked for many years at an Edmonton hospital site caring for an adult population with multiple issues focused on intellectual and concurrent severe behavioral challenges. She was known for her stamina and persistence with this often very challenging population.
Most notably, she worked for nearly 25 years with Canniff and Associates to support the Physicians Aftercare Program operated through the College of Physicians and Surgeons.
