Excellence Award Honors 25 Baylor Faculty Members

Twenty-five Baylor College of Medicine faculty members received the Fulbright & Jaworski L.L.P Faculty Excellence Award for their contributions to education during a recent presentation at the college.

The recipients were selected through a peer review process, in which faculty contributions were evaluated against specific criteria. Modeled after a National Institutes of Health grant review process, the panel considered submitted portfolios for quality, quantity and breadth to ensure they met the established standards.

"These faculty members have met the high standards set by their peers as quality educators," said Dr. Ralph D. Feigin, Baylor president and CEO. "It is a pleasure to honor those who have dedicated themselves, throughout their careers, to preparing the physicians and scientists of the future."
