Kudos
The Faculty of Medicine would like your help recognizing our faculty and support staff members for their exemplary work, efforts, and for upholding the Faculty鈥檚 values (compassion, inclusion, diversity, integrity, professionalism, respect, social accountability, sustainability, transparency, and wellness).
Submit a Kudo to the Marketing and Communications Office via email to [email protected] 鈥 it will take just a few moments. Please include:
- A subject line of: 鈥淜udos recommendation鈥
- First and last name of the person, or group members, you are recommending
- Your first and last names (this will not be included in any postings)
- A brief description of why this person or team deserves a Kudo (maximum word count: 100 in English, 115 in French. Please avoid using acronyms.)

Process:
- A learner or staff or faculty member submits a Kudo. It might be lightly edited by MarCom.
- Once approved, MarCom will notify the nominator, who will be asked to notify the nominee(s) to ensure they are comfortable having a Kudo in MedFlash.
- If the Kudo is about a team and individuals are not named, the nominator will be asked to share the Kudo text with the team鈥檚 manager/supervisor to confirm accuracy of the text and to ask the manager to share the Kudos text with their team once it鈥檚 published.
Kudos will be posted in the MedFlash newsletter.
