Gairdner Foundation - Medical Advisory Board

Medical Advisory Board

The Medical Advisory Board (MAB) comprises a group of scientists from across Canada, the United States, Europe, Asia and Australia. Each January, the MAB meets in Toronto to review the nominations submitted by the Medical Review Panel.

Famous quotes containing the words medical, advisory and/or board:

    “If science ever gets to the bottom of Voodoo in Haiti and Africa, it will be found that some important medical secrets, still unknown to medical science, give it its power, rather than the gestures of ceremony.”
    —Zora Neale Hurston (1891–1960)

    “At the heart of the educational process lies the child. No advances in policy, no acquisition of new equipment have their desired effect unless they are in harmony with the child, unless they are fundamentally acceptable to him.”
    —Central Advisory Council for Education. Children and Their Primary Schools (Plowden Report)

    “Watteau is no less an artist for having painted a fascia board while Sainsbury’s is no less effective a business for producing advertisements which entertain and educate instead of condescending and exploiting.”
