External Teaching Awards | Nomination Form

The Faculty of Medicine’s Education and Teaching Awards Committee (ETAC) reviews nominations for external education and teaching awards and makes recommendations to the Dean. Although nominations are welcome at any time of year, the committee specifically seeks nominations for consideration twice, once in the spring/summer and once in the fall/winter.

Please complete your nomination by submitting this online form and required attachments.

If you wish to nominate the same candidate for more than one award, please submit a nomination form for each award.

For external awards, candidates are first adjudicated at the faculty level to select the official nominee that will be put forward on behalf of the Temerty Faculty of Medicine.

The first stage of the adjudication requires a simpler version of the official nomination package. If chosen as the official Temerty nominee, the Office of the Vice Dean, Medical Education will support the nominee to develop their full nomination package.

 In this form, you will be asked to provide:

  1. Nominee name, appointment, and contact details

  2. Short-form responses explaining how the nominee demonstrates the criteria of the award (Review awards and their criteria using the Medical Education and Teaching Awards Database.)

  3. Complete CV 

  4. Teaching Dossier/CPA Dossier (optional) 

  5. Confirmation that the Department Chair endorses the nominee (no letter required)

  6. The name of two supporters that would be willing to provide letters of support if the nomination proceeds as the official Temerty nominee

The exception to the above is the 3M National Teaching Fellowship which requires a letter of support from a colleague or former student and the nominee's statement of educational leadership.
