Outstanding Teaching Award

We are very pleased to announce that CLIPP received the 2008 Academic Pediatrics Association Outstanding Teaching award on Monday, May 5th at the APA Annual Meeting in Honolulu, Hawaii. The purpose of the APA Outstanding Teaching Award is “to foster interest in the teaching of general pediatrics by giving national recognition to an outstanding general pediatric program. Programs must demonstrate excellence in educational teaching methods, acceptance by students and/or residents, acceptance by the community and the institution innovations and adaptability, or outstanding quality of the individuals trained in the program”.

We want to take this opportunity to thank everyone involved in the development, evaluation, use and maintenance of CLIPP. This award truly belongs to everyone who has contributed to CLIPP in any way, and without all of you this significant honor would not have been possible.

AAMC Innovation Award

In December 2005 CLIPP received the inaugural "Innovation in Clinical Medical Student Education Award" from the Northeast Group on Educational Affairs (NEGEA). These awards recognize important, innovative accomplishments in medical education by an individual or a group of individuals who work at an NEGEA school. The NEGEA, a regional organization of the Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC) Group on Educational Affairs (GEA), promotes excellence in the education of medical students, residents, and physicians through the professional development of medical educators.(Fall et al. Academic Medicine 80(9):847-855, 2005.)
