Understanding the body and disease process
Basic science research (sometimes called bench research) comprises disciplines such as molecular biology, biochemistry, microbiology, physiology, and pharmacology and focuses on determining the causal mechanisms behind the functioning of the human body in health and illness.
Improving health
Excellence in patient care involves a wide variety of both medical and nonmedical factors including infrastructure, training, competence of personnel, efficiency of operational systems, patient engagement, access to care, clinical trials and collaboration – to name a few.
Health organization
Health care is a system comprising people, institutions & resources along with the training, policies, structure and organizational leadership that make it all happen.
Honouring Excellence
Six Canadian medical heroes are inducted into the Canadian Medical Hall of Fame each year. Their work may be a single outstanding contribution or a lifetime of meritorious achievement. Pioneers in their field, they are role models of excellence in the health field, in Canada and around the world.
Nominate a Health Leader
The CMHF perceives health leadership to be inclusive of many professions and roles including doctors, researchers, nurses, dentists, pharmacists, policy makers - to name only a few. Nominations of Canadians, living or posthumous, who meet the criteria from the many aspects of health are encouraged.
Inspiring Generations
Our Laureates cite qualities such as perseverance, collaboration and entrepreneurial spirit as contributors to their success as national and world health leaders. The CMHF Award recognizes medical students who demonstrate these qualities and show outstanding potential as future leaders and innovators of health care in Canada.
Building our future
Through our educational programs, the Canadian Medical Hall of Fame fosters future generations of medical heroes. We encourage young people to learn more about Canada's rich medical history and to explore the exciting career options that are available to them in medicine and the health sciences.
I will support and facilitate the registration of any students from my school who are interested in attending Discovery Day in Health Sciences.
J’appuierai et faciliterai l’inscription de tout élève de mon école qui s’intéresse à la Journée Découverte en sciences de la santé.
