Golden Apple winners celebrated

The 50th annual Golden Apple Awards ceremony recognized excellence in medical education. The awards are given in memory of physiology professor Dr. Bernard Metz, who was honored by his students for his love and devotion to teaching.
Each year, medical student classes nominate and vote to honor exceptional faculty for teaching excellence. The event also featured the annual Robert P. Walton Lecture on Medical Education, which was given this year by Donna Kern, M.D., associate dean for curriculum in the College of Medicine. Kern spoke about the role of educators who illuminate, cultivate and inspire their students.

Golden Apple Awards were presented to Dr. Thierry Bacro (First Year Faculty Award), Inda Johnson (First Year Appreciation Award), Dr. Debra Hazen-Martin (First Year Appreciation Award), Dr. Laura Kasman (Second Year Faculty Award), Sandy Nelson (Second Year Appreciation Award), Dr. David Mills (Clinical Years Faculty Award), Dr. Eric Nelson (Clinical Years Faculty Award), and Dr. Angela Choi (Clinical Years House Staff Award).
