As in previous years, the PARO Trust Fund will provide an award of $1,000 each to two winners from every university centre in Ontario. This award acknowledges two senior residents who have provided outstanding clinical teaching experiences to junior residents and clinical clerks. The winners are also invited to the PARO Clinical Teaching Awards Banquet, traditionally held in May.
