The Angelika F. Hahn Award for Excellence in Clinical Teaching & the Harriet and James Ross Award for Excellence in Clinical Teaching by a Trainee
Awards are Generously Sponsored by Harriet and James Ross
Angelika F. Hahn Award for Excellence in Clinical Teaching
The Angelika F. Hahn Award for Excellence in Clinical Teaching was established in 2012 to honour Dr. Angelika F. Hahn’s contributions to the clinical education of a generation of neurologists.
As a clinical teacher, Dr. Hahn’s legacy is one of unwavering passion for clinical neurological science. Over decades, her example inspired students and colleagues in three ways: by her emphasis on a detailed neurologic history, where attentive listening and strategic questioning lead toward a diagnosis; by her elegant, skilled neurologic examination; and by focused laboratory investigations guided by current scientific knowledge. Underlying her exacting standards and her demands for excellence was her dedication to students and residents and her desire to see them reach their potential.
The Angelika F. Hahn Award is given annually to a clinician who has displayed excellence in clinical teaching in the neurosciences. Nominations may come from medical students, residents, or faculty. The nomination must be seconded.
The winner of the award will be an individual who embodies the spirit of clinical teaching exemplified by Dr. Hahn, namely:
- Passion for teaching
- Attention to detail in developing the clinical skills of learners
- Dedication of time and effort devoted to clinical teaching
- Evidence of significant influence on students or residents
Nominations must include a letter of support that describes the candidate’s contributions to clinical teaching and influence on students and residents.
Recipients of the Angelika F. Hahn Award will be ineligible for consideration for the subsequent 5 years.
