Seventeen health sciences educators from across the north, including a few from our area, are being recognized by the Northern Ontario School of Medicine University.
NOSM’s Health Sciences Preceptor Awards honour those who are educating the next generation of health sciences professionals.
They include registered dietitians, physiotherapists, occupational therapists, audiologists, and speech language pathologists.
Aubrey Arnocky, a physiotherapist in North Bay, received an Innovative Preceptor Award.
Also in North Bay, Monique Jardin, an occupational therapist, was honoured with an academic excellence award.
Riley Waugh, a physiotherapist in West Nipissing, was honoured as a northern ambassador.
“These preceptors live the values of NOSM University,” says Dr. Michael Green, President, Vice-Chancellor, Dean, and CEO of NOSM University. “They strengthen health education right here in the North, and they strive for excellence in teaching, research, and leadership. Their work makes a tangible difference in the health of Northern Ontarians. We are proud to celebrate them with these awards.”
An awards ceremony was held Friday in Sudbury.
