A big congratulations to Division member Dr. Rose Hatala, who has received the 2019 Medical Council of Canada (MCC)’s Outstanding Achievement Award in the Evaluation of Clinical Competence.
According to the MCC, the award “recognizes an individual or group who demonstrates sustained excellence in Canadian health care and/or health care research. The recipient is someone who ensures that health care professionals meet the high standards that Canadians enjoy and expect.”
“I’m thrilled and honoured to have been selected for this award,” said Dr. Hatala. “Students, residents, and ultimately patients are the focus of my educational endeavours and I am continually learning from them and being inspired by them.
“I am extremely fortunate to have had great mentorship and support throughout my career from my colleagues in medicine and education. It’s a privilege to be part of this collaborative and supportive academic community.”
Dr. Hatala received her award at the MCC Annual Meeting dinner on Sunday, Sept. 22 in Ottawa.
