MSA OUTSTANDING RESIDENT AWARDS
Nominations are NOW CLOSED.
The MSA Executive would like to thank you and your staff for all you are doing to help keep healthcare running and to help ensure that learners are safe and making the best of every learning opportunity during the ongoing challenges they are facing. Your dedication, innovation and selflessness is obvious and inspiring.
COVID19 modifications means we have cancelled our meetings and events, along with the opportunity to celebrate in-person the achievements of our staff and learners again this year. However, we feel that it is especially important to acknowledge and reward those residents who have shone brightly over the year. These deserving individuals could use such a bright spot in these trying times.
SELECTION PROCESS: The selection process for each department is based on a collaboration of the Department Chief, Chair and Program Director. Based on this collaboration, we ask that you meet to review and discuss which candidate you will put forward for the award this year.
We recognize it is always a difficult choice to select one Resident per department with so many incredible potential recipients; however, we are limiting it to 12 again this year.
We will present the awards and find ways to celebrate their achievements, while respecting the physical distancing we need to maintain. We do need you to send us the name of these individuals by Friday, April 30, 2021 along with your completed nomination for with a nomination letter and the recipient contact information. We will again make the effort to design a process of celebration so that they and others will know how proud the HHS staff is of their achievements.
