Categories

Faculty may be nominated for Furrow Awards based on excellence in medical education in any of five categories:

  1. Basic science teaching in the undergraduate medical curriculum
  2. Clinical science teaching in the undergraduate medical curriculum
  3. Graduate medical education
  4. Graduate student education
  5. Innovation in medical education

Process

Any College of Medicine faculty member from the Tucson campus may nominate any faculty member (including himself or herself) in one or more categories. Please follow these guidelines:

  • The deadline for nominations is noon, Friday, Sept. 14, 2018.
  • The primary nominator should indicate clearly which of the five categories above applies to the nomination, and should detail the peer observations on which the nomination is based.
  • Up to two letters of support from peers may be provided. A nomination will be strengthened considerably if the primary nomination or a letter of support is provided by the faculty member’s department head or block/course/clerkship director. Inclusion of details and examples from faculty observations of the nominee's teaching will greatly strengthen an application.
  • Student evaluations should not be included; these awards are based on peer assessment.

Save the Date

Furrow Awardees will be selected by the Academy of Medical Education Scholars, and will be recognized at the 39th Annual Faculty Teaching Awards and the Vernon and Virginia Furrow Awards Ceremonies – Wednesday, Nov. 7, noon, in Duval Auditorium.
