Zucker Clinical Teaching Prizes

The Milton O. M30 and Natalie V. Zucker Clinical Teaching Prizes were established in 1998 to promote and honor excellence in clinical teaching. Two prizes, one for Innovation and one for Accomplishment, are awarded annually to clinical teaching faculty for the purpose of:

Rewarding and recognizing specific faculty for outstanding innovation, accomplishment, and ability to motivate students.
Encouraging all faculty to review those attributes needed to be an effective teacher.

Nominations are solicited from department chairs, division chiefs, and other members of the faculty. The Curriculum Committee reviews the nomination materials (nominees curriculum vitae and letter of reference), discusses best teaching practices, and votes on the nominees. Nominees from the past two years who did not receive an award will be automatically reconsidered with the current year nominees.

The Zucker Clinical Teaching Prize Selection Committee, which consists of the Dean of the Medical School, the Dean for Educational Affairs and Dean for Students, and the Curriculum Committee Chair reviews the Curriculum Committee's votes and selects the winners. At the request of Mrs. Zucker, the committee strives for balance between recognition of past accomplishments and promising innovations, and between male and female nominees. Awardees receive a $2,500 award (unrestricted) from the Zucker endowment fund for teaching recognition.
