An Alliston doctor is being recognized with an award for demonstrating excellence in her practice.

On Feb. 24, the Council of the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario will present a Council Award to Dr. Shazia Ambreen.

The Council Award is presented four times a year to physicians who have demonstrated excellence in eight qualities needed to practise modern medicine as defined by the college.

“Dr. Ambreen is recognized for her strong advocacy for patient safety and commitment to continuous improvement and excellent medical care,” a press release about her award says.

“Dr. Ambreen’s accomplishments, commitment to her patients and determined efforts to improve health care in her community make her an outstanding example of the ideal physician,” said college president Dr. David Rouselle.
