The Temerty Faculty of Medicine's Teaching and Education Awards Committee (ETAC) has the privilege of recognizing individuals who are making significant contributions to Health Professions Education.
Twice a year, we solicit nominations from across our faculty for a range of external teaching and education awards issued at the University, national and international levels. Through a rigorous adjudication process, we identify individuals and groups that are demonstrating excellence in teaching, education scholarship and leadership in education, and make recommendations to the Dean of Medicine on which candidates should be put forward as the official Temerty nominees for these awards.
For external awards, nominees are first adjudicated at the faculty level. This first stage adjudication requires a simplified version of the nomination package that will ultimately be required to be put forward as the official Temerty nominee.
Once selected by ETAC, the Office of the Vice Dean, Medical Education will support the official nominee in developing their full nomination package. Please direct any questions to medicine.awards@utoronto.ca rather than to the organization offering the award.
ETAC is comprised of faculty and learners/trainees and chaired by the Vice Dean, Medical Education. The Committee reviews candidates for external Education and Teaching awards requiring a decanal nomination and makes recommendations to the Dean of Medicine.
