The Canadian Academy of Health Sciences (CAHS) is one of three national academies that comprise the Council of Canadian Academies, the highest honour granted to scholars in Canada. (The other two CCA academies are the Royal Society of Canada and the Canadian Academy of Engineering.) Fellows of the Academy are elected based on their demonstrated leadership, creativity, distinctive competencies and commitment to advancing academic health sciences.
A total of 73 new fellows were inducted to the CAHS on Sept. 13.
