Health Sciences Preceptor Awards 2027

To support greater participation and recognition, our annual in-person awards event will alternate between the East and West regions each year. The 2026 event was held in Sudbury, and the 2027 event will be hosted in Thunder Bay. To maximize opportunities for award recipients to attend and be recognized in person, nominations will be considered according to the region hosting the awards event: West region nominees will be eligible for consideration at the 2027 awards event, East region nominees will be eligible for consideration at the 2028 awards event.

We encourage you to submit nominations for all deserving preceptors, regardless of when their regional awards event will take place. All eligible nominations will be retained and considered during the appropriate award year for their region. Thank you for helping us recognize the dedication, excellence, and impact of our preceptors.
