December 14, 2020

The University of Ottawa Alumni Association has bestowed Heart Institute Division Head of Cardiology, Dr. Rob Beanlands, with its Alumnus of the Year Award for 2020. The announcement came as part of the association’s virtual AGM held over the weekend.

The Alumnus/Alumna of the Year Award recognizes the outstanding achievement of one uOttawa alumni member within the last year. Consideration is given to alumni who have won honours in their field or who have been recognized nationally or internationally.

I am deeply proud to have won this award. I feel humbled to have been selected. I know that there are many people who contribute well to the University and the Faculty of Medicine as a whole, and it’s very special (for me) to be selected among that group.
