- College of Medicine Faculty News Students
College of Medicine faculty and students were honored October 25 for what Dean Deborah German described as “excellence in the most important jobs we do as a medical school – teaching and learning.”
Faculty awards – for core and volunteer/affiliated faculty — were presented for outstanding achievement in all of the medical school’s missions – education, clinical, research and service. The majority of student awards are given at a graduation award ceremony days before students receive their M.D. degrees. The three student awards given recently were for those who had completed their first and second years of the curriculum.
