One gold medal is awarded to the graduate student who has achieved the most outstanding academic record in the graduating class for the doctoral degree. A second gold medal is awarded to the graduate student who has achieved the most outstanding academic record in the graduating class for the master’s degree with a thesis.
This is an opportunity to honour the best in the graduating class within the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies, as there is only one award for more than 2,000 Master’s graduates and one award for more than 500 doctoral graduates. Medals are presented on behalf of the Governor General of Canada by participating educational institutions, along with a personalized certificate signed by the Governor General. There is no monetary award associated with the medals.
Eligibility: Students must have submitted the final copy of their thesis to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies between January 1, 2022 and December 31, 2022.
Each Faculty of Medicine graduate program may nominate one applicant per category (Ph.D. and MSc thesis) to the Dean’s office at the Faculty of Medicine by February 24, 2023.
Applications are due to RHSC Program Assistant by February 15, 2023
