Mayo Clinic School of Graduate Medical Education announces 2021 Teacher of the Year Awards
Mayo Clinic School of Graduate Medical Education, along with the Mayo Clinic Alumni Association and Mayo Fellows’ Association in Rochester, has announced recipients of the 2021 Teacher of the Year Awards, and the Edward C. Kendall and Donald C. Balfour Alumni Awards for Meritorious Research.
Typically, Teachers of the Year are honored at a very well-attended event, where a trainee-nominator speaks about the mentor’s outstanding qualities. Due to the pandemic, this event was canceled. Please reach out to the 2021 Teachers of the Year to offer congratulations.
