The Dr. Daniel C. Andreae President’s Awards

Through the generosity of Dr. Daniel C. Andreae, two awards will be granted to support one student in Michener’s School of Applied Health Science programs and one UHN research trainee in their academic pursuits. All UHN trainees are eligible for consideration. The value of each award is $1500 each.  

The intent of this award is to recognize and support students with demonstrated interest and capacity to shape the future of healthcare and healthcare work through education, research, and/or practice. As future health care leaders, it is important that students anticipate and shape the future of the professions through ethical practice, patient-centred care, innovation and research.  “This can involve how we use technology, simulation, artificial intelligence, robotics, genetics or big data to better serve patients and their families,” says Dr. Andreae. 

For both awards, applicants will submit a short (maximum 500 word) essay that addresses the broad issue of “What is the future of healthcare in Canada and what role are you going to play in it?” Applications will be primarily evaluated based on this submitted essay, including the quality and the content. Other considerations will include: evidence of healthcare experience (which may include experience as a clinician or as a student, but could also include experience with healthcare as a patient, caregiver, educator, researcher, or volunteer) and evidence of research and/or leadership potential. Other application materials (e.g. evidence of satisfactory GPA) will be used to determine eligibility for the award.

  1. Michener Advanced Diploma Program Students ($1500.00)One Dr. Daniel C. Andreae President Award will be awarded to a current Michener student who meets the following criteria:
    • Enrolled in a full-time Michener advanced diploma program in good academic standing with a minimum cumulative Grade Point Average of 75%.

    Submission of the following:

    • Unofficial transcript
    • A Curriculum Vitae
    • A one-page commentary paper addressing the broad issue of ‘What is the future of Healthcare professions in Canada and what role are you going to play in it?’ (500 words maximum)
  2. UHN Research Trainee ($1500.00) One Dr. Daniel C. Andreae President Award will be awarded to a current UHN Research Trainee in good standing in an affiliated Graduate Program who meets the following criteria:
    • Enrolled in a graduate program in good academic standing (grades will be used as a threshold test only, as inter-school comparison is not possible)

    Submission of the following:

    • Unofficial transcript
    • A Curriculum Vitae
    • A one-page commentary paper addressing the broad issue of “What is the future of Healthcare professions in Canada and what role are you going to play in it?”(500 words maximum)

Recipients for this Award will be selected by The Institute for Education Research Dr. Daniel C. Andreae President’s Award Committee in the fall of each year. The Chair for the Awards Committee is Dr. Paula Rowland, Scientist at TIER.

Send applications to TIER@uhn.ca with the subject line “Dr. Daniel C. Andreae President’s Award”.
Deadline: Monday October 16, 2023 at 5pm ET

Applicants will be notified during the week of November 13th, 2023.
