Annual Award for Outstanding Contributions to Geriatric Psychiatry in Canada

Each year the CAGP sends out a call for nomination for the Outstanding Contributions to Geriatric Psychiatry in Canada Award.  This award acknowledges a geriatric psychiatrist who has made a significant contribution to the development of geriatric psychiatry in Canada in the areas of education, research or service delivery. A framed certificate and $1,000 is presented to the successful candidate at the CAGP Annual General Meeting and the Canadian Psychiatric Association Awards Presentation Dinner.
