The MD Program recognizes that teaching and mentorship are central to our success, and strives to support and recognize excellence and leadership in education. The MD Program Teaching Award for Excellence was introduced in 2017 by medical students to recognize faculty, residents, graduate student teachers and clinicians in the MD Program that have attained exceptional Teaching Evaluation Scores in one or more of the teaching activities to which they have contributed. We are honored to have Dr. David Jenkins, Professor, from the Department of Nutritional sciences being selected for his massive contributions to medical education.
