On May 3, the Faculty of Medicine celebrated the academic achievements and distinguished careers of 68 faculty members during its annual Academic Gowns and Emeriti Recognition Ceremony.
From the Departments of Medicine, Physical Therapy and beyond, recipients from across the Faculty wore black gowns to mark their recent promotions to Professor, Clinical Professor or Professor of Teaching. Special recognition was also reserved for 26 members who were granted Emeritus or Emerita status for the significant contributions they made over the course of their careers.
In his opening remarks, Dermot Kelleher, Dean of the Faculty of Medicine, congratulated the members on their academic excellence and service to society.
“I know each of you — as newly promoted Professors, Clinical Professors and Professors of Teaching — are playing a vital role in strengthening our collective impact by embodying the principles of excellence, effectiveness, engagement and equity,” he said.
“Your research in all areas — from cancer and mental health to policy — has led to new insights that are helping to improve patient and public health. And your dedication to teaching has led to the success of countless students now serving as dedicated care providers and scientists, supporting the needs of individuals living in all corners of our province.”
