The President’s Awards for Excellence are annual awards to recognise staff members who have made outstanding contributions in Education, Research or Societal Engagement. This year we celebrated with two members of the department who received the award for their education work. The following words were said as they received their awards.
'Dr Shivani Tanna is the year 3 MICA GP course lead. She has shown immensely far reaching skills
both as an educator and as an education leader.
The course is already a game changer in the way our medical students
learn. Dr Tanna has a strong medical
education ethos, pushing the student boundaries, allowing them at their own
pace to go beyond the curriculum objectives and instilling confidence in the
students in year 3 in the role of a doctor.
She carries a passion for medical students and it is truly rewarding to
see how the students have responded to her energy. She is everything an education leader and
doctor should be'.
'Dr Andrew McKeown
is the ICA co-course director and he is a dynamic and inspirational educator who
has worked tirelessly to introduce the longitudinal clerkship in year five
undergraduate teaching. Andrew has used
video material, group simulation and weekly reflective teaching groups, pushing
the boundaries of the students and how things are taught in a traditional
curriculum. In his weekly tutorials he
covers topics and areas previously left untouched such as dealing with
uncertainty, reflecting on a patient’s death and the impact that has on a
doctor and using the arts and humanities to develop empathy and compassion'.
