I rise today to recognize and congratulate Dr. Richard
Taor on becoming the recipient of a teaching award for
his contribution to the Discipline of Family Medicine of
Memorial University of Newfoundland.
The award is presented in honour of Dr. Yong Kee Jeon
who practiced medicine for twenty years and taught
residents within the Family Medicine Program.
Besides being an exemplary physician, as demonstrated
through his practice and actions, other criteria that
were considered for Dr. Taor receiving this award
included feedback from family medicine residents on the
excellence of his teaching, his contribution to the
Discipline of Family Medicine, and his participation in
the teaching activities of the Discipline of Family
Medicine.
Dr. Taor received the special award at the awards
dinner of the Family Medicine Preceptors Meeting in
Gander.
Dr. Taor was born in Chesterfield, Derbyshire,
England, and holds medical licence in both the U.K. and
Newfoundland and Labrador. Dr. Taor has operated a
Family Practice in Port aux Basques since 1977. He was
Chief of Staff of the Dr. Charles L. LeGrow Health
Centre from 1979 to 1987, and again from 1992 to 2007.
Dr. Taor and his wife, Magda, have two children.
Mr. Speaker, I ask all members of this House to join
with me in extending congratulations to Dr. Richard Taor
on receiving this prestigious award.
All the best to Dr. Taor and his family. |
