We’re committed to recognizing and celebrating medical educators and acknowledging extraordinary work through the FAME Recognition for Excellence in Teaching. Since great teaching occurs in a wide array of settings, this award may recognize outstanding teachers from any Feinberg learning environment or affiliated teaching site.

Nominations

Members of the Feinberg community may nominate any individual that they feel is an excellent teacher, including faculty, students, housestaff, nurses and staff.

Our nomination form is available year-round; award recipients will be announced on a rolling basis.
