CFPC Family Physician of the Year - Reg L. Perkin Award
This award, named in honour of Dr. Reg L. Perkin , CFPC Executive Director (1985-1996), recognizes an outstanding British Columbia CFPC family physician member who exemplify the best of what being a family doctor is all about, including exceptional care of patients combined with a significant contribution to the health and well being of communities and/or society in general. Nominees should exemplify how the four principles of family medicine are applied to one's practice: they should be skilled clinicians; community-based, act as a resource to a practice population; and recognize the central importance of the doctor/patient relationship.
Each CFPC Provincial Chapter will select a Family Physician of the Year for its jurisdiction. These individuals will be honoured at the time of their Chapter Annual Scientific Assemblies/Annual General Meetings, as well as nationally at the Family Medicine Forum (FMF), at which time they will receive the Reg L. Perkin Awards as Canada's Family Physicians of the Year. Recipients will receive complimentary registration and $1,500 to offset travel and other expenses for attending the FMF.
