Faculty Educators Honored with Outstanding Preceptor Recognition

Blue Ribbons

Ninety-five Cleveland Clinic faculty members have been recognized as outstanding preceptors for their role in educating year 3 medical students during their core clerkships. Recipients of this prestigious honor, which celebrates mentorship during the 2023 calendar year, were chosen based on criteria including quality and frequency of feedback provided to students and student evaluations of the residents.

Faculty work closely with students to maximize learning and foster inclusivity. By providing students with high quality, non-judgmental and timely feedback, faculty members help students improve their practical skills and grow more confident as caregivers.

Each honored faculty member was presented with a CCLCM educator pin as a token of recognition for their vital contributions toward educating future physicians.
