Excellence in Teaching Awards
At the Department of Internal Medicine Faculty Dinner held at the Hotel
Fort Garry on November 26, 2015 - seventeen Internal Medicine
faculty members were recognized for excellence in teaching.
In 2005 Dr. Dan Roberts initiated a bi-annual program to recognize the
significant role and exceptional dedication that our clinician educators
play in the education of the next generation of physicians, and reward
teaching excellence in the Department of Internal Medicine. The
teaching excellence awards are the Department’s most visible
recognition of the teaching accomplishments of our faculty members.

The Morley Lertzman Subspecialty Clinician Educator and the Barry J.
Kaufman Awards were established to recognize a clinician educator
amongst the subspecialty attending faculty and a clinician educator
amongst the CTU attendee faculty.
The numerical scores from Resident Evaluations of attending physicians
over the last four year period are used to determine the names of the
individuals with the highest numerical scores. The names are presented
to the Teaching Awards Selection Committee, a committee established
by the Department Head, Dr. Dan Roberts, with representatives from
each site, and the chief residents. The committee’s recommendations
are forwarded to the Department Head and kept confidential until the
recipients are announced at the Faculty Dinner.
Resident evaluations are the most important element in the selection of
the teaching excellence awards and are used to acknowledge those
faculty members who received “outstanding” resident evaluations.
