The Canadian Medical Hall of Fame (CMHF) celebrates Canadian heroes whose work advances health in Canada and the world, fostering future generations of health professionals through the delivery of local and national youth education programs and awards. This enduring tribute to our country’s rich medical history is showcased on our digital Hall of Fame at https://cdnmedhall.ca and in an Exhibit Hall in London, Ontario.

 

Delivered in partnership with universities, hospitals and research institutions across Canada, our national youth program, Discovery Days in Health Sciences, offers grades 10 - 12 students the opportunity to explore a variety of career options in medicine and the health sciences. Through a dynamic keynote lecture, interactive workshops and discussion with a panel of experts, students gain a clearer picture of what it would be like to be a health care professional.

Building on the past year's success in delivering our usual in-person events virtually, we are piloting our first ever Discovery Day in Health Sciences NORTH.  You’ll find more information about this new initiative on our website at

 Our first online half-day event, dubbed “Central Canada”, will be Wednesday, March 9, 2022. High school students in northern regions of Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario and Nunavut are invited to participate. The program is considered an individual learning opportunity, allowing students to interact with researchers, clinicians and educators from partnering institutions in these regions.

 In order for students to take part, a designated teacher must first agree to act as the liaison between CMHF and students by registering the school at https://cdnmedhall.ca/centralcanada. Please note that registering your school is an expression of interest for more information and does not obligate you to have students register.
