Award Details
The RSC administers over 20 prestigious awards in recognition of outstanding achievement.
The Jason A. Hannah Medal is awarded for an important publication in the history of medicine.
Awarded: Biennially
The Jason A. Hannah Medal was established in 1976 by RSC with the generous assistance of Associated Medical Services Incorporated, through its Hannah Institute for the History of Medicine. The medal was established to honour the late President and Managing Director of AMS Inc., Dr. Jason A. Hannah, and to bring recognition to the work of Canadian research in the history of medicine.
The medal is awarded for an important publication in the history of medicine. The award is for a book published in the five years preceding its nomination. The bronze medal and a cash amount of $1,500 are offered every year if there is a suitable nomination.
This award is made possible with the support of the Associated Medical Services Incorporated (AMS).
Note that after the March 2025 competition closes, RSC will be moving the deadline for its Medals and Awards to December to align with the membership nomination deadline.
