“The four outstanding faculty teachers who were selected for the League of Educational Excellence this year are all incredible teachers, and it is so wonderful to see them recognized as such. The significant number of Family Medicine faculty included in the League attest to the high quality of teaching done in Family Medicine by everyone. As always, it is an honor to be associated with such stellar individuals," said Philip Zazove, M.D., the George A. Dean, M.D. Chair of Family Medicine.
The induction ceremony took place on Dec. 1, 2015 with Dean James O. Woolliscroft, M.D., and Senior Associate Dean for Education and Global Initiatives Joseph C. Kolars, M.D., who honored a total of 61 medical educators.
