AMA (WA) Junior Doctor - Camille Michener Award About the Award

AMA (WA) Junior Doctor
of the
Year 2015
(Dr Camille Michener Legacy Award)
“Celebrating the outstanding contribution
of our Doctors in Training to the
Medical Profession and the Community”
About the Award
The annual AMA (WA) Junior
Doctor of the Year (Dr Camille
Michener Legacy Award) was
inaugurated in 2010 to
recognise the exceptional
contribution of Dr Camille
Michener to the Medical
Profession, her colleagues and
the patients she felt privileged
to serve. A $3,000 grant will be
awarded annually to the winner
of this prestigious Award.
This annual Award has been established
by Helen and Norm Michener, with the
assistance and support of the AMA (WA),
to honour the life and achievements
of their beloved daughter, Dr Camille
Michener, who tragically died in a car
accident on 24 July 2009.
The Award recognises the significant and
outstanding contribution of our Doctors
in Training to the Medical Profession and
the Community in areas such as teaching
and education; leadership and advocacy;
and doctor’s wellbeing and community
service. These were all activities and
values significant to Camille. The Award
establishes a fitting legacy to all that
Camille achieved in her short time with
us and will ensure that we celebrate
the ongoing contributions that our
Doctors in Training make amongst their
colleagues, the profession and in and for
the Community.
For further information about Dr Camille
Michener and the past winners of this
prestigious Award please refer to the
AMA (WA) website.
