Drs. Ramachandran & Weickhardt Receive Prestigious Teaching Awards

Dear all,
 
Two members of our department have received prestigious teaching awards from the UCSF School of Medicine in recognition of their outstanding small group teaching. This amazing award sweep highlights how much UCSF students enjoy pathology small groups - only two awards for small group teaching are  available each year, and both of them were awarded to pathology small group facilitators this year!

Dr. Raga Ramachandran has received the 2022-2023 Bridges Curriculum – Foundations 1 and 2 Teaching Award for Excellence in Small Group Instruction by Faculty Member. This is a student-nominated award that reflects the high esteem and deep appreciation that MS1s and MS2s feel for exemplary preclinical teaching done by a faculty member.

Dr. Alexander Weickhardt (PGY1) has received 2022-2023 Bridges Curriculum – Foundations 1 and 2 Teaching Award for Excellence in Small Group Instruction by Student Instructor. This is also a student-nominated award that reflects the high esteem and deep appreciation that MS1s and MS2s feel for exemplary preclinical teaching done by a senior medical student.

Please join me in congratulating Raga and Alex for these highly-deserved awards, which they will receive at the teaching award ceremony in October. Thank you for your dedication to the teaching mission at UCSF!
