The prestigious honour will be given at the 2023 Fall Representative Assembly Nov. 3-4 in Saskatoon. The 2022 recipient was Dr. Pieter Maree, a family physician from Hudson Bay.

Nominations can be made by other physicians, citizens, communities, sections and medical associations.

The nominee must be an SMA member and be living in Saskatchewan at the time of nomination. The award is presented for outstanding contributions either during a particular time span or throughout a career. Physician contributions can be made in the medical profession or volunteer sector and can be to a community or district, or at the provincial, national or international level.

Each nomination must include a summary of the candidate’s achievements and at least one letter of reference. The nomination must also be signed by two nominators.

The nomination deadline is Aug. 31, 2023. Nominations may be submitted by email to sma@sma.sk.ca or by mail to the SMA Saskatoon office.
