Celebrating excellence

Every year, Dalhousie Medical School’s Continuing Professional Development presents awards that highlight individuals who are making an exceptional contribution to supporting others in their efforts to continue their education.

The R. Wayne Putnam Award

This award recognizes individuals who consistently make notable contributions to the continuing professional development of Maritime physicians. Those contributions could be in the form of teaching or organizing any form of continuing medical education program.

Please contact cpd@dal.ca with any questions about this award.

Considerations for nomination:

Excellence in teaching
Program development and implementation work
Collaborative research in CPD
Other activities that, in the view of the nominator, merit consideration given the purpose of the award

To nominate someone:
Please provide a letter detailing the types of activity for which the nominee should be recognized, addressing the following selection criteria:

Length of time over which contributions have been made
Quality, quantity, variety, and relevancy of CPD programs

Letters should be sufficiently detailed to stand alone in support of the nomination, as additional material will not be reviewed. The only exception is a summary of teaching evaluations, which may be appended to the letter to support nominations involving excellence in teaching.
