Community Undergraduate Medical Education (UGME) Awards
Growing class sizes and other learner groups competing for clinical experiences make it increasingly difficult to establish quality sustainable placements for medical students. The purpose of these awards is to recognize contributions of community pediatric preceptors in their role as clinical teachers to medical students during mandatory pediatric rotations, to encourage ongoing participation of these valuable educators.
