ACADEMY FOR
|
| The University of Illinois College of Medicine's Academy for Excellence in Teaching (AET) was founded in September 1996, with a mission to promote scholarship and distinction among those who teach in the basic and clinical sciences. The Academy for Excellence in Teaching was instrumental in College-wide initiatives to foster faculty portfolios, modifications in the establishment of academic tracks and ranks to include an emphasis in teaching within research tracks as well as in clinical teaching tracks. | SPECIAL EVENT: A LUNCH SESSION OUT OF THE BOX Peer Instruction as a Platform for Learning Gross Anatomy October 22, 2009 Featured Presenter: See "Upcoming Events" for details |
