2022 and 2023 Faculty and Resident Teaching Awards

Three cheers for our 2022 and 2023 Teaching Award Recipients!

Teaching Awards are determined by MS3 and MS4 student evaluations acquired while on clerkship, electives or Sub-Internships. Highlighted by our learners via these evaluations is a faculty’s willingness to engage the learner in a respectful way, encouraging an interactive dialogue and proactively identify teachable moments.

In this sense, these faculty are honored by encouraging critical thinking and providing time for meaningful feedback to be had.

Additionally, too, learners observe how our faculty communicate respectfully with and about patients from different backgrounds and advocate on their behalf.

We have one of the largest pools of recipients announced (spanning calendar years 2022 and 2023 below):
