Team-based and/or Interprofessional Care Award
Member RD who goes above-and-beyond (independently or in partnership with RD colleagues) to work with and/or build collaborative relationships with interprofessional healthcare colleagues to provide enhanced, comprehensive care while working with patients, families, and caregivers to deliver the highest quality of patient-centred care across all settings.

Health Equity Award
