As medical education continues to grow every year at Scarborough Health Network (SHN), so, too, do opportunities to recognize the achievements of SHN’s medical staff.

Congratulations to the faculty and residents who received 2020 Postgraduate Awards of Excellence, Postgraduate Awards, and Teaching Awards from University of Toronto (U of T), which recognize significant contributions to medical education.

SHN is a training site for U of T’s Department of Family and Community Medicine Residency Program, providing unique, one-on-one educational opportunities on family medicine and specialty rotations with dedicated preceptors.

“The next generation of health care professionals are coming to SHN to train in one of the most ethnically diverse communities in the world,” said Dr. Erlick, Chief and Medical Director, Department of Family and Community Medicine. “Congratulations and thank you to each of our winners and nominees on your achievements; your work reinforces our bold vision to be Canada’s leading community teaching health network.”
