Richard M. Tucker WWAMI Excellence in Teaching Award
If you have completed or are currently on your IM clerkship, we need your help to nominate attendings and residents from the WWAMI Region for our Richard M. Tucker WWAMI Excellence in Teaching Award. Because student nominations are the most important part of our selection process, we look to you to support us in honor our faculty and residents.
There are so many who enjoy giving their time to teach and guide students just like you, we hope that you will take a few moments to return the favor and nominate deserving faculty and residents.
If you have not done so already, please use this link to nominate the attendings and residents who you feel have demonstrated excellence in teaching during your medicine rotations.
