Five Canadian Doctors Named as Recipients of $50,000 Groundbreaker Awards

In celebration of the 10th anniversary of the Dr. Rogers Prize in 2017, the Groundbreaker Awards were created as a one-time award to honour those individuals whose personal conviction to pursue practices above and beyond the medical status quo prepared the way for future leaders, evocative of Sir Isaac Newton’s famous quote –

“If I have seen further, it is by standing on the shoulders of giants.”

The Groundbreaker Awards were presented at a Gala Awards Dinner held in Toronto on February 24, 2017.
