Circle of Impact Recipient - June 2026

Empower: Excellence in Teaching Shapes the Next Generation

The Empower category celebrates family physicians who foster the next generation through teaching excellence, educational leadership, and mentorship that advances family medicine. Our recipient demonstrates the profound impact of investing in future family physicians.

• Dr. Greg Siren has developed and shared his myoActivation techniques with many of his family practice colleagues, including those working with Indigenous Peoples. This skill set enhances the ability to provide culturally safe and effective care for acute and chronic pain; a medication-free, low technology intervention that has proven life-changing for both patients and practitioners.
  His nominator shares: "Dr. Siren is a humble healer, and an incredibly innovative, curious and generous family physician. I hope this award will raise awareness to his teachings that can be transformative for our speciality and the communities we serve."
  Those who have learned from Dr. Siren report increased job satisfaction, a greater sense of agency in helping patients, and reduced burnout, evidence of how meaningful mentorship extends far beyond clinical skills to transform practitioners' professional wellbeing and their capacity to serve their communities.
