Nomination and Application Process
Nominations and Applications:
Nominations and subsequent applications for selection as Fellows, Associate Fellows and Senior Associate Fellows will be solicited in the last few months of each calendar year. Nominations are made by department chairs by emailing the faculty names to either Dr. Cross or Dr. Rao. Interested faculty should speak with their chairs about being nominated.
will be faculty who dedicate a significant portion of their career to medical student education with recognized expertise and leadership roles in teaching, curriculum development and education scholarship.
may be junior faculty on a medical student education career path who have yet to achieve the recognition or position of leadership that would qualify them to be a Fellow. Such nominees must have had at least one full year on the faculty before nomination.
may be more senior faculty noted for their dedication to teaching but who only play a limited role in medical student education.
Application Material:
Nominees will be invited to submit full applications. The application and application instructions provide the details.
