Awards and Prizes

In uOttawa’s bid to increase its research intensity and international recognition, research and teaching prizes and awards are becoming more and more important.

Awards such as these promote and recognize a culture of excellence and raise the visibility and profile of the institution and its members on the national and international scene. Gaining this recognition strengthens the appeal of uOttawa as a first-class institution for study and research and encourages careers in research/academia.

The Faculty of Medicine Awards and Prizes Office provides assistance to faculty members in identifying relevant awards and prizes and preparing applications, as well as coordinating nominations with key stakeholders within and external to the University.

See the list of past award recipients.

University of Ottawa Honorary Doctorates

Submission deadline - Ongoing year-round

At the Faculty of Medicine, we are always on the look out for potential candidates for uOttawa Honorary Doctorates that can be honoured and recognized during the annual convocation ceremonies. HD are presented to recognize academics, scientists, researchers, clinicians, activists and scholars who have made a significant, pioneering or revolutionary contribution to their area. These can be individuals at the local, national or international level and can be people whose contributions may not have necessarily been widely acclaimed, but could serve as important inspiration for graduating students.
