  Dr. Ron Edelstein Wins UCLA 2006 Award for Excellence in Education
 
 

 

 
 

The Award for Excellence in Education is a peer recognition award funded by the Kaiser Foundation which is focused on medical student education and designated for faculty members who have:
 
  • Carried an exceptional teaching load, including medical student teaching, with sustained excellence over the years
  • Created educational innovations
  • Managed an educational component with skill, innovation, enthusiasm, and success
  • Played a key role in interdepartmental educational activities
Award recipients receive a cash grant ($1000 from 91-99, $1500 starting in 2000) and a plaque. Additionally, the names of the recipients are added to the Distinguished Educator's Wall at the entrance to the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA. Nominations are reviewed by a multi-disciplinary faculty committee comprised largely of those who have won the award in the past.
The criteria for selection include: impact on the school, exceptional commitment, innovation, sustained effort, student recognition
and/or adaptation by other schools.
