Outstanding Educator AwardMembers of the Association of Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine Program Directors (APCCMPD) work diligently to foster excellence through training and mentoring of the next generation of pulmonary and critical care physicians. One way to honor peers who demonstrate excellence in the development of future physicians is through the annual Outstanding Educator Award (OEA). This award recognizes an individual who has devoted a major portion of his/her professional life to enhancing the practice and profession of pulmonary and or critical care medicine through education. The educator selected for this award has made significant, innovative, and/or cumulatively outstanding contributions to education in pulmonary and or critical care medicine. These contributions should include excellence in education beyond the local level, with widespread recognition of the recipient's excellence, which may include teaching, directing, mentoring, writing, and speaking abilities, ideally to multiple levels of audiences including medical students, residents and fellowships. The OEA award recognizes individuals who are exemplary clinician educators who have made substantial national contributions at the medical student, resident and fellowship level. National impact can include mentoring that has led to the successful career development as medical educators, or scholarly publications. Award CriteriaA recipient of the national award will be:
