Four from UTMB Inducted into Excellence Academy
Four faculty from UTMB were among 12 educators from the six UT System health institutions inducted into the University of Texas Academy of Health Science Education, an organization of distinguished scholars recognized for their teaching excellence. Honored from UTMB were Judith Aronson, professor of pathology; Anne Frye, director of the office of educational development; Virginia Niebuhr, professor of pediatrics; and Victor Sierpina, professor of family medicine.
"Last year at a conference in San Diego, I met one of my graduate residents from more than years ago who told me 'You are my role model.' After graduation, he had studied acupuncture and integrative medicine practices bringing these into his patient care and resident teaching. At this moment, I realized how our teaching efforts can have enormous downstream effects on our learners," says Dr. Sierpina.
