Nominations open for 2024 BC Rural Health Awards
The Rural Coordination Centre of BC (RCCbc) presents the BC Rural Health Awards each spring to recognize and honour rural physicians, communities and residents for their inspiring contributions to improving the health of rural people and communities across BC. This year, we are delighted to introduce a new category, the Resident Leadership Award. Residents are invited to submit a self-reflection essay on how their involvement in rural and remote health has influenced their practice.
Here are the nomination categories and objectives:
- Rural BC Community Award: Honouring a BC rural community for the work being done to support local rural healthcare service delivery
- Award of Excellence in Rural Medicine: Lifetime Achievement: Recognizing BC rural physicians for an extraordinary body of work and service provided over the span of a career
- Resident Leadership Award (new category): Highlighting a resident who has demonstrated a sustained interest in rural and remote medicine in BC
We invite you to nominate exceptional colleagues, mentors, peers, and communities for acknowledgment and for residents to share a self-reflection on the impact of your experience being involved in rural and remote health.
Award winners will be recognized on May 24, 2024 at the BC Rural Health Conference in Whistler, BC.
DEADLINE FOR NOMINATIONS IS WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 7, 2024.
