Education and Teaching Awards

We belong to a diverse community of teachers and scholars committed to advancing medical education. Help us to recognize excellence across the education continuum by nominating peers, colleagues, mentors and mentees who are making a difference.

Teaching and education awards are granted each year in recognition of individual teachers’ excellent contributions. Internal awards are granted at the Department, Academy, program, and Faculty levels, and prestigious external awards are offered by the University of Toronto and various provincial, national, and international agencies.
