- College of Medicine
Outstanding College of Medicine faculty and students were recognized October 27 for their excellence in teaching, mentoring and learning.
In opening the Faculty and Student Awards Ceremony, Dr. Deborah German, vice president for medical affairs and dean, thanked core, volunteer and affiliated faculty, saying their role is foundational to training tomorrow’s health leaders. “Science and medicine are changing so quickly that today’s students must not only be taught the difficult subjects of microbiology, anatomy and physiology. They must also be taught to be lifelong learners, lifelong explorers and discoverers who never stop seeking information and new answers, treatments and solutions,” she said. “Faculty, that responsibility rests on your shoulders and it is a huge undertaking you have performed extremely well. I cannot thank you enough for your dedication to training the next generation of healers.”
Honored faculty members included clinical, medical education and research faculty as well as community physicians who train M.D. students in their clinics during the first and second years of medical school and in third- and fourth-year clerkships.
