Class of Meds '49 Award

Teaching is a core responsibility of residents, yet it is often under-recognized. Residents play a vital role in shaping the learning experience of medical students through clinical teaching.

To recognize outstanding contributions, the Class of Meds ’49 established annual awards to celebrate excellence in resident teaching and to highlight the important role residents play in medical education.

Application Deadline: May 25 annually
