About the Scholarship in Teaching Award
The Scholarship in Teaching Award program is designed to:
- Recognize contributions to education in the prior academic year;
- Promote educational scholarship, recognizing a scholarly approach to teaching and learning; and
- Advance careers of medical educators.
Teaching approaches considered scholarly are characterized by:
- Purposeful planning;
- Systematic implementation; and
- Reflection and assessment for improvement.
The result should be an academic product that is actively shared and that will support the development of a community of teaching scholars. Interested individuals are invited to submit the Scholarship in Teaching application, including a description of an educational contribution. Applicants that meet criteria for the award are recognized and honored at the School of Medicine Annual Education Retreat. Click here for a list of the most recent winners SIT awardees 2022.
