The Renaissance School of Medicine is excited to announce the open call for nominations for the 2024 Faculty Awards
It is time again to recognize the excellent work being done by our faculty in teaching, clinical service, research, and mentoring — all critical aspects of the mission of the School of Medicine.
Two new calls for award nominations are in effect this year, an Award for Faculty Excellence in Student Mentoring at an Affiliate site , and an Award for Faculty Excellence in Clinical Practice in the Community.
Nominations will be accepted through midnight, July 31, 2024. Awards will be presented at our Annual Faculty Awards Ceremony in Fall 2024. Award recipients will have their name added to the award recipient plaque in RSOM and receive $1000.
Eligibility
All School of Medicine faculty members are eligible for consideration. Faculty members at our close affiliates are eligible for consideration for all awards. Please note, past recipients are not eligible for consideration in the same category in which they previously received an award.
Applicant nominations are considered for three consecutive years. Candidates nominated, but not awarded, in 2022-23 cycle do not need to reapply for the same award in this cycle. However, a new application can be submitted if there is additional evidence to support the candidate's nomination.
