Faculty Recognition

Faculty mentoring and role modeling is a critical part of medical education. During the clerkship years, Feinberg students are asked to name faculty members that they believe have demonstrated exemplary professionalism and should be recognized. During the 2017-18 academic year, 165 faculty members received at least one nomination and ten received five or more. See the full list of teaching opportunities to learn more about how to get involved.
