ABOUT THE ACADEMY

 The Academy of Master Teachers is an honorary service organization recently established at UTMB to embrace a set of standards for excellence in teaching and scholarship in education, to recognize master educators and to provide guidance and mentorship in teaching skills to interested faculty members. The academy and the position of director are primarily supported with private funds from alumni and friends of UTMB. Learn more about the Academy of Master Teachers.
