2024 Experts Selected by Pediatrics Instructor Recognition Committee

The Department of Pediatrics Instructor Recognition program aims to recognize instructor/senior instructor faculty who are making substantive contributions to the university above and beyond their primarily clinical roles. Currently in a pilot phase, the program has three specific aims:

1. To recognize the depth of expertise and accomplishment across three different domains (Clinical Practice Development, Education and Research) and two levels of recognition (Expert and Senior Expert).
2. To provide opportunities for professional growth and recognition throughout a faculty member’s career.
3. To provide structure that facilitates mentorship pairing.
