These awards are intended to recognize the best narrative accounts of experiences in family medicine as submitted to the Stories in Family Medicine database each year. The awards are named in memory of the late Dr. Mimi Divinsky for her role as a pioneer in narrative medicine in Canada.
Three awards will be offered each year:
- one for a story in English from a CFPC member,
- one for a story in French from a CFPC member, and
- one for a story in French or English from a family medicine resident or medical student.
The awards will be presented at a special session at Family Medicine Forum (FMF) in Toronto, November 15-17, 2012. Award-winning stories will also be published in Canadian Family Physician.
