All faculty staff and students are invited to nominate candidates for the Faculty of Medicine's Distinguished Teaching Award 2023. Nominations must be received no later than 9 February.

The award aims to encourage teachers to make good pedagogical contributions in first-cycle and second-cycle education. The award may be presented to an individual teacher or to several teachers. Teachers are defined as professors, associate professors, lecturers, research assistants, part-time fixed-term teachers and guest teachers.

The award winner(s) should have made a well-documented pedagogical contribution and demonstrated excellence in the following areas:

  • pedagogical development work
  • interaction with students
  • collaboration with colleagues

Decisions on award winner(s) are made by an evaluation committee consisting of the chair and a teacher representative from the Strategic Board for Education (UN), a teacher representative appointed by the Faculty Board and a student representative from the Umeå Medical and Health Sciences Students' Union. The committee will take gender equality into account when evaluating the nominations.
