The CAEP's Residents' Section grants 2 new national EM awards every year. The

CAEP EM Teacher of the Year Award

was created to recognize outstanding EM educators in Canadian Emergency Medicine. The

CAEP EM Resident Leadership Award

was designed to identify emerging leaders in Canadian EM, and to recognize residents who have made an exceptional contribution to the betterment of Canadian EM or Canadian EM residents during his or her EM training. All Emergency Medicine, Pediatrics, and Family Medicine programs were invited to nominate the best and the brightest from their program, and a national Awards Committee met to select the winners. This year, ten people were nominated from across Canada. I am very pleased to announce the recipients of this year's CAEP Awards.

The CAEP EM Teacher of the Year Award goes to Dr. Tim Allen, Université Laval, Quebec City, Que.

The CAEP EM Resident Leadership Award goes to Dr. Lisa Calder, University of Ottawa, Ottawa.
