About DFCM, Education, Faculty, MD Program, Residency

The University of Toronto Department of Family and Community Medicine (DFCM) is pleased to announce that 96 DFCM faculty members have been recognized for teaching excellence within the MD Program.

These individuals, recipients of 2020-21 MD Program Teaching Awards for Excellence, were all ranked in the top 10% of Teaching Evaluation Scores for one or more of their teaching activities.

The recipients also include 11 family medicine residents who support undergraduate learning through supervision of Clerkship and Family Medicine Longitudinal Experience (FMLE) learners.

“Teaching Evaluation Scores are given by students, so these awards are a direct reflection of the strength of our family medicine teachers and the positive experiences they are creating for MD learners,” says Dr. Risa Freeman, Vice-Chair, Education and Scholarship, at DFCM.

“Education is at the heart of DFCM, so we’re delighted to see so many faculty members at all career stages and from all corners of our department recognized in this way,” says Dr. Freeman. “Particularly, 32 members have participated in DFCM’s Teaching Residents to Teach Program, which helps family medicine residents develop their teaching skills and confidence, and become effective mentors.”

A big congratulations to all the DFCM award recipients!
