On behalf of the Department, the Faculty Awards Committee is seeking nominations for this year’s award.

- Supervision of graduate students and post-doctoral fellows;

- Teaching in undergraduate and/or graduate courses, in Medical School and Genetic Counselling Program courses, lectures, small group sessions, practical sessions, or other formal type of teaching;
