The Canadian Academy of Health Sciences (CAHS) is now accepting nominations to recognize Emerging Leaders in Health Sciences in Canada.

These emerging leaders must:

  • have achieved independence in their activities,
  • recognition from their peers, preferably on a national or international level, and
  • must demonstrate commitment to work with the Academy to advance its mission.

Selected Emerging Leaders will benefit from mentoring by senior Academy Fellows. This should put them in an advantageous position to become CAHS Fellows in the future.

Election to the Academy is considered one of the highest honours for members of the Canadian health sciences community.

This honour embodies a covenant to serve the Academy and the future well-being of the health sciences irrespective of the Fellow’s specific discipline.
