Exemplary Teaching awards

The TAFP created the Texas Exemplary Teaching Award in 2004. This award is given to physicians recognized for exemplary teaching skills by medical students, residents, or peers, or to physicians who developed and implemented innovative new teaching models or programs. 

Please note that nominations can be made in the full-time, part-time, or volunteer faculty categories. Physicians nominated in the full-time or part-time categories should hold a regular faculty appointment, and teach and practice exclusively in an academic setting. Physicians nominated in the volunteer category should not practice in an academic setting, but engage in volunteer teaching activities. All nominees must be TAFP members. Current TAFP officers are not eligible for this award.

Nomination requirements

  • Complete this nomination form,
  • Submit a typed copy of a current curriculum vitae limited to five pages
  • Submit a minimum of three and maximum of five letters of recommendation. At least two must be from individuals who are current or former students/residents who have been taught by the nominee
  • Submit a current head-and-shoulders photo of the candidate

Nominees will be evaluated on their commitment and contributions in the areas of teaching, patient care, community service, and scholarly activity.

Submit CV, photo, and supporting documentation by emailing them to Samantha White at swhite@tafp.org. All materials, including nomination form, must be received by May 31, 2023.
