We are thrilled to announce the recipients of the 2025-26 Hudson Scholars Awards Program, a prestigious initiative supporting early-career physicians. This 1-year program provides dedicated time for research and training, empowering scholars to become leaders in quality improvement and advance pediatric medicine.
Established in 2016 through a transformational gift from the Hudson family to the BC Children’s Hospital Foundation (BCCHF), the program was envisioned by Dr. Allison Eddy, the inaugural Hudson Family Hospital Chair in Pediatric Medicine. Over time, it has expanded to include medical faculty from across the BC Children’s Hospital campus, providing scholars with protected time, mentorship, and education to conduct impactful quality improvement projects.
This year’s cohort was selected for their outstanding proposals. Their work will enhance health systems, improve service delivery, and lead to better health outcomes for our patients and families.
After a rigorous review process, we are pleased to introduce the 2025-26 Hudson Scholars (Cohort 4): Dr. Basil Kadoura, Dr. Sanjukta Basak and Dr. Dynai Eilig.
We look forward to their contributions!
Sincerely,
Dr. Eric Webber
Interim Chief Medical Officer, BC Children’s Hospital
