Distinguished Service Award
This award is to honour individuals who have provided distinguished service to the Canadian Association of Gastroenterology (CAG) either by:
- their recognized excellence in research in the area of gastroenterology and related subjects, and thus have provided service, by achieving international recognition for the CAG in their field or
- provided exemplary service to the CAG. The Distinguished Service Award should be granted, from time to time, to individuals who normally have been members of the Association for over 10 years. The Board of Directors will review and consider candidate(s) for this award on an annual basis.
