What is a Laureate?

Laureates are Canadian physicians, medical scientists, health care professionals and citizens who have made outstanding contributions to medicine and the health sciences. A Laureate may be honoured for a single meritorious contribution or a lifetime of superior accomplishments.

Awards are bestowed in the categories of Applied Research, Basic Research, Builder and Clinical Care.
