2010 ACEP NATIONAL FACULTY TEACHING AWARD RECIPIENTS

Brian Clyne, MD, FACEPDr. Clyne

revitalized the residency in a very

short period of time, and within a

year of taking over, was being praised by residents and

faculty for his leadership,

dedication, and innovative spirit.

Christopher Doty, MD, FACEP

Chris has been a tireless educator, a

proliferative academic writer, and

a compassionate mentor. He is a

valuable mentor to the students, residents and

faculty, as well as a cherished friend to the department.

Jonathan Edlow, MD, FACEP

Dr. Jonathan Edlow is clearly one of the top leaders

(not just in emergency

medicine but in the overall house of medicine) on the subject of neurological

emergencies.

David Howes, MD, FACEP

He is a gifted teacher who serves as the consummate role

model for our residents and our medical

students in the clinical and didactic

educational settings. It is our privilege to have

him as a faculty member and especially

as the Residency Program Director.

Kenneth Jackimczyk Jr., MD, FACEP

He is an exceptional emergency physician by any measure and strives daily to improve himself

as he encourages the residents he trains to

develop themselves. This is a man who is soft-

spoken, wise, and humble and he uses these tools to motivate others into

achieving a level of personal excellence they

would otherwise not know.

Maureen McCollough, MD, FACEP

I feel that Dr. McCollough is fully deserving of this award because of the contributions she has

made in our department over the past seven

years. Her passion for educating our residents

and junior faculty is inspiring, and it is a

pleasure to have someone like Dr.

McCollough be such an active part of our

department.

Thomas Morrissey, MD, PhD, FACEP

One of Tom's many gifts is that he excels at making complex concepts easily

digestible by those with whom he

interacts. His teaching analogies, similar to

his analogies for real-life scenarios,

immediately make obvious the concepts

he teaches.

Rahul Sharma, MD, MBA, FACEP

Rahul stands out as one who lives to teach

and who takes immense pleasure from watching our

students and residents grow. He is

a true academic faculty member and

a teaching role model for our residents and

faculty.

Michael Smith, MD, FACEP

Dr. Smith is widely reviewed as perhaps the finest of

our didactic lecturers. He routinely attains the highest marks for his

didactic lectures and for his clinical teaching while

on shifts. He is enthusiastic, committed and has a unique talent for teaching Emergency Medicine residents and

medical students, that art of Emergency Medicine.

Anthony Tomassoni, MD, MS, FACEP

He is a caring physician who has been

recognized both locally and regionally

for his teaching excellence. He shows tireless dedication to the Yale emergency medicine residents both at the bedside, in the classroom and

in the office.
