Mr. Picard’s “contributions to advancing medical and health education among the Canadian public provide a lens and perspective that are incredibly helpful in informing health policy,” said Dr. Sandy Buchman, president of the CMA. “He’s not only informing the Canadian public, he also informs professionals and experts. Reading his work helps me understand what’s going on. He has the ability to get to the truth.
Mr. Picard says he sees himself as a translator of complex policy issues. Drawing connections between political and medical challenges, Mr. Picard’s reporting spurs policy change and helps Canadians understand how the evolving health care system affects their everyday lives, Dr. Buchman said. The CMA award is named after Owen Adams, the chief policy adviser at the association, who has spent his career informing policy development in human resources for medical practitioners, health system financing and health reform. Previous recipients include health care consultants, engineers, senators, medical researchers and public servants.
