The Wayne State University School of Medicine is committed to recognizing and honoring incredible faculty and resident teachers, without whom we would not be able to educate our students and serve their future patients.
Each year, the School of Medicine recognizes outstanding educators using evaluations provided by third- and fourth-year medical students. The evaluations consider every aspect of teaching—from student and patient interactions to creating and fostering an effective and equitable learning environment. The school then calculates and ranks top faculty and residents who train our students.
