Department of Medicine Faculty to Take Quarter of Honors at 2018 College Faculty Teaching Awards

Please be aware the UA College of Medicine - Tucson moved the date of this event a day later to Thursday, Nov. 8, 2018, at noon. We apologize for any inconvenience.

Cover of generic program for UA College of Medicine - Tucson teaching awardsSeveral faculty members and houseofficers from the University of Arizona Department of Medicine will split recognition for nine of the honors to be presented at noon, Thursday, Nov. 8, in DuVal Auditorium at the 39th Annual UA College of Medicine – Tucson Faculty Teaching Awards and the Vernon and Virginia Furrow Awards Ceremonies.

That amounts to about a quarter of the awards to be given out. Awardees were selected by the Academy of Medical Education Scholars at the college. Announcement letters were received recently by winning candidates whose nominations were submitted by the Sept. 14 deadline. Among them, Drs. Amy Sussman, John Bloom and Joao Paulo (J.P.) Ferreira repeated as winners from last year for at least one of their awards (see list below).
