He is the recipient of four honorary doctoral degrees (Sherbrooke, Moncton, Louvain, Laval) and was a visiting professor at the universities of Bern (Switzerland), Tokyo (Japan), KLE (India), UBC (Canada), and King Abdulaziz and Taif (Saudi Arabia). He was the founding director of a master’s degree in medical education at Laval University (Québec) and subsequently the director of graduate studies in DME and taught courses in Scholarship and Current Issues in Health Professions Education, Research Design and Grant Writing, and Scientific Writing. His research includes the study of clinical reasoning, the written and oral assessment of clinical decisions (the “key features” approach, first developed for the Medical Council of Canada in the early 90’s and now used worldwide), the hypothesis-driven approach to teaching and assessing the physical exam, and scientific writing. He is the recipient of multiple awards, including the Abraham Flexner Award of the American Association of Medical Colleges for extraordinary contributions to the medical education community, the John P. Hubbard Award from the National Board of Medical Examiners for significant contributions to the pursuit of excellence in the field of evaluation in medicine, the American Education Research Association Distinguished Career Award, and the Dr. Louis Levasseur Distinguished Service Award for Outstanding Contributions to the Vision and Mission of the Medical Council of Canada. A lecture and a professorship were created in his name: the Dr. Georges Bordage Annual HPE Summer Conference Keynote Lecture and the Dr. Georges Bordage Professorship in Medical Education.
