Since 2007, the Pediatric Chairs of Canada (PCC) has recognized and promoted excellence in academic pediatric leadership through its Pediatric Academic Leadership Awards. These awards celebrate outstanding contributions across distinct academic career paths, reflecting PCC’s belief that the health and well-being of children and youth depend on strong leadership in the areas of clinical practice, medical education, research, and academic administration.
To further support and elevate these roles within the pediatric academic community—including those of clinician practitioner, clinician educator, clinician investigator, emerging academic leaders, and administrative leaders—PCC established the National Pediatric Leadership Awards. These awards serve to recognize and inspire excellence among current and future leaders in academic pediatrics across Canada.
