About
Clerkship directors are dedicated teachers who devote considerable time and energy to this task, often with little support. Many directors have developed extensive curricula, teaching tools, and outcome assessments to enhance neurology education. The Clerkship Director Teaching Award recognizes individuals who have dedicated themselves to neurology education, not only creating future generations of neurologists but also teaching neurology to students choosing other disciplines, and the Clerkship Director Innovation Award recognizes individuals who have developed unique tools to teach medical students, to assess knowledge, and benchmark progress.
