Teaching Awards Example
Associate Professor (Clinical Track)
The internal medicine residents selected me as Teacher of the Year in 1997 and again in 1999. In 1998 I was one of 3 faculty nominated by the Dean of the College of Medicine for the University of Iowa Collegiate Teaching Award. In 1999, I was one of four finalists for teacher of the year as selected by the M4 class. In 1999, I was selected by the Dean of the College of Medicine to attend a weeklong educational conference on integrating electronic media into teaching. The conference was associated with a $3000.00 award to be used toward acquiring electronic hardware and software for use in educational programs. In 1999 I was selected by the Dean of the College of Medicine to participate in the Teaching Scholars Program. In its inaugural year, participants in the program met once monthly for 4 hours with workshops to improve teaching skills and to work on self-designed faculty-development projects. In 1999, I was selected to receive a collegiate teaching award. In 2000 I was identified as one of the "best attendings" by the internal medicine residents.
