Dear members of the Faculty community,
The Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences (FMHS) is now accepting applications and nominations for two awards for teaching innovation: one for faculty and teaching staff, and one for learners. The goal of these awards is to recognize innovative teaching strategies that are learning- and learner-focused.
Some examples of innovations could include:
- Peer-to-peer assessment strategies
- Strategies to foster active learning
- Educational innovations with potential to benefit learners from different professional backgrounds, and/or are translatable to other Departments, Schools or Faculties
- Learner-driven initiatives that promote active learning
Find out more about the recipients of last year’s awards in this article.
Eligibility
Faculty and teaching staff will be eligible if they meet the following criteria:
- Are a tenure-track academic staff or contract academic staff member in the FMHS
- Applied a new educational and/or teaching innovation within the FMHS in the last two years.
Learners will be eligible if they meet the following criteria:
- Are currently enrolled as an undergraduate, graduate, or health professional student or resident in the FMHS
