Excellence in Teaching Award

Each year the Department humbly recognizes the contributions of our faculty to house officer education through these awards. Selected by our residents, these awards are announced at our annual graduation dinner. These represent the highest teaching awards at our Department level.

We thank our faculty for their efforts to develop our learners as our next generations of radiologists and leaders, and recognize all that that our learners themselves have given to us as teachers to be better, to ask more of us, to energize us and to remind us how important our educational programs are to us, to them, and to the patients and families we care for.
