2026 CAEP Awards Nominations

CAEP’s Annual Awards recognize excellence in specific areas within emergency medicine, including advocacy, education, research, and professional practice.

Nominated by their peers, the final award winners are selected either by a CAEP committee* and/or the CAEP Board of Directors. Applications from all backgrounds and practices (rural, urban, academic, community), particularly those who identify as a member of an underrepresented group in emergency medicine (including Indigenous, Black, people of colour, women, persons with disabilities, 2SLGBTQIA+ people) are invited to apply.

All nominators and nominees must be CAEP members.**

Submissions must demonstrate how a nominee meets the criteria of the award in each of the question boxes. A a letter from a colleague, outlining the characteristics of the nominee as they relate to the award (multiple letters are accepted) and a CV are strongly recommended (and required for the Ian Stiell Researcher of the Year Award).

For the Emergency Physician of the Year Award, nominators will be asked to outline nominee qualities directly in the submission form.

*With the exception of the Penny Gray Allen Memorial CJEM Writing Award
**With the exception of the Medical Journalism Award, Emergency Physician of the Year Award and the Penelope Gray-Allan Memorial CJEM Writing Award (submission here: https://www.editorialmanager.com/cjem/default.aspx).
