Two Residents Win Top Resident Teacher Clerkship Award

Congratulations to Catherine “Katie” Klammer, MD, and Johnathan Zhao, MD, who are the first recipients of the new Top Resident Teacher Clerkship Award for the Ob/Gyn Clerkship within the Women’s Health Institute.

Under the leadership of Diane Young, MD, Ob/Gyn Clerkship Director, the program is offering this formal opportunity to recognize its top resident teachers for each clerkship session with a handsome lapel pin that can be proudly displayed on their white coats. The program will recognize at least four resident teachers over the course of every academic year.

“Although our amazing Ob/Gyn residents do a phenomenal job teaching our medical students and providing timely, robust, descriptive and helpful written feedback, we wanted to do more to recognize their hard work, commitment and dedication to undergraduate medical education,” says Dr. Young. “This new initiative will allow more residents to be recognized and applauded for their excellence in teaching.”

The Cleveland Clinic Lerner College of Medicine of Case Western Reserve University students who completed the July-September 2021 Inpatient Ob/Gyn Clerkship voted for a resident to receive the award. The votes were tied for a winner, so both Drs. Klammer and Zhao have received the award.

Congratulations again to these top resident teachers for a job well done!
