Fellow
The Canadian Academy of Health Sciences recognizes the full breadth of
academic health science ranging from fundamental science to social
science and population health. Fellows elected to the Academy will
be well recognized by their peers nationally and internationally
for their contributions to the promotion of health science. They
will have demonstrated leadership, creativity, distinctive competencies
and a commitment to advance academic health science.
Such individuals are elected to the organization after a nominating and
peer review procedure that seeks to recognize those who are marked
by a record of substantial accomplishment. At the time of election,
Fellows must be Canadian citizens or have been Canadian residents
for the preceding three years. Election to Fellowship in the Academy
is considered one of the highest honours for individuals in the
Canadian health sciences community and carries with it a covenant
to serve the Academy and the future well being of the health sciences
irrespective of the Fellow's specific discipline.
Fellows of the Academy are entitled to use the designation FCAHS (Fellow
of the Canadian Academy of Health Sciences) or MACSS (Membre
de l'academie canadienne des sciences de la santé).
Distinguished Fellow
Distinguished Fellow is the highest honour awarded by the Academy. It
is open to individuals who must meet the usual criteria for Fellowship,
but whose accomplishments are considered of such high distinction
that only a select few are worthy of this designation.
Usually, no more than one Distinguished Fellow will be elected in
any given year, and there can be no more than 10 Distinguished
Fellows at any time.
