The Excellence in Clinical Coaching Award celebrates faculty members whose passion for teaching shines through in every clinical encounter.
Our residency and fellowship programs thrive because of educators who go beyond routine instruction to provide personalized, hands-on coaching that shapes the next generation of exceptional physicians. This institutional honor allows Program Directors to spotlight faculty who consistently demonstrate outstanding clinical mentorship, supported by heartfelt testimonials from resident and fellow physicians who have grown under their guidance.
