Excellence in teaching is the foundation of the Jacobs School’s mission to educate, inspire, and serve. Our educators lead by example — challenging minds, nurturing growth, and advancing the standards of medical and biomedical education. With the Louis A. and Ruth Siegel Awards for Excellence in Teaching and the Moments of Excellence in Education: Recognition & Inspiration Program we celebrate the outstanding individuals whose dedication to teaching enriches our entire learning community.
This initiative invites students and residents to recognize specific instances—big or small—where educators made a meaningful difference in their educational experience. Each quarter one moment is highlighted along with practical teaching tips and educational insights to inspire continuous improvement in teaching practices across the school.
