For almost 40 years the Daniel D. Federman Teaching Awards have celebrated Harvard Medical School’s teachers who, through their excellence in teaching, have impacted and influenced the professional lives of students long after graduation.
The recipients of the awards, who are nominated by students, embody the contributions of Daniel D. Federman, an alumnus of both Harvard University and HMS.
This year’s honorees were fêted on September 9 at the Daniel D. Federman Teaching Award Celebration in TMEC’s Carl W. Walter Amphitheatre, hosted by HMS Dean George Q. Daley and Dean for Medical Education Edward Hundert.
The awards are HMS's most visible recognition of the teaching accomplishments of a highly select group of the School's leading medical educators, and reflect, in a tangible way, how much teachers are valued by their students and the HMS community.
