Medical student honoured by native group

Canadian Medical Association Journal 1996; 155: 564

Dalhousie University medical student Robert Johnson Jr. has won the National Aboriginal Achievement Award for Youth in recognition of his academic excellence and determination to succeed. The tribute is another in a long list of honours and bursaries presented to Johnson because of his continuing commitment to medical studies, native affairs and volunteer work. Last year the CMA gave him a special bursary that is available for undergraduate aboriginal medical students.

Johnson earned his bachelor of science degree at Dalhousie in 1994 and is a past member of the Minorities in Medicine Committee at Dalhousie's medical school. He has served as the president of university's Aboriginal Students Association and as native delegate on the Canadian Federation of Students and the Student's Union of Nova Scotia.
