MINDEMOYA—Island physician Dr. Maurianne Reade has been recognized with an award from the Canadian Association for Medical Education (CAME).
“Yes, it is very nice to be recognized for this award,” Dr. Reade told The Expositor, along with two other faculty at NOSM (Northern Ontario School of Medicine) this year (Dr. Anne Robinson and Dr. Barb Zelek), whom I highly respect. It is something that makes me feel I am in great company.”
“CAME is pleased to celebrate this year’s recipients of the 2024 CAME Certificate of Merit which promotes, recognizes and rewards faculty committed to medical education in Canadian medical schools,” a press release from CAME states. “The CAME Certificate of Merit Award consists of a certificate and the opportunity to write an article for the CAME Voice. The CAME awards committee has no role in adjudicating the CAME Certificate of Merit Awards. While sponsored by CAME, the Certificate of Merit Awards are adjudicated locally by CAME Board school representatives and their committees.”
“Dr. Reade is a rural generalist and preceptor on Manitoulin Island. A previous president of Physician Clinical Teachers Association (PCTA), her more recent activities include pandemic response and rural workforce challenges. Maurianne’s research interests include vaccine confidence and medical education,” CAME said in a virtual Zoom recognition.

Following medical school at the University of Alberta and an early career in Western Canada, she has made Manitoulin Island her home since 2001.
