In 2023 he won the Transition to Clinical Practice Award for Excellence in Teaching. Furthermore, for the last four years he has participated in the Osler Fellow program at McGill, which pairs mentors with six medical students in their first year of medical school in order to guide, support and teach them about the concept of physicianship.
Dr. Moroz was the recipient of the J. Donald Boudreau Award for Physicianship in 2023. This award is student driven and is presented to a senior Osler Fellow who has consistently demonstrated the qualities of mentorship, pedagogy, and role-modelling espoused by the physicianship program.
Recently Dr. Moroz represented Canada on a national and international level. In 2022, he worked at the Canada Summer Games as a physician. More recently, he acted as the chief medical officer for Team Canada at the Jeux de la francophonie in the Democratic Republic of Congo which is an event that brings together all French nations of the world for a three-week multisport and artistic competition. Dr. Moroz was part of the medical services team for the 2023 Pan American Summer Games in Santiago, Chile. Following the Panam Games, he was selected to be one of the physicians to care for the Canadian Olympic Team at the 2024 Paris Olympics.
