The College is now accepting nominations for the 2020 Council Award. The award is presented four times
a year to outstanding Ontario physicians who have demonstrated excellence and come closest to meeting
society’s vision of an ‘ideal physician’. The criteria for selecting a physician for the award are based on the
eight physicians roles identified as the essential qualities needed to practise modern medicine:
• medical expert/clinical decision-maker
• communicator
• collaborator
• gatekeeper/resource manager
• health advocate
• learner
• scientist/scholar
• person & professional
The Council Award recognizes physicians whose performance in these roles is outstanding, recognizing that
they may demonstrate more extensive expertise in some roles than in others.
