OU Academy of Teaching Scholars

The OU College of Medicine inaugurated a new academy in May known as Academy of Teaching Scholars. This Academy has been created to foster, recognize, celebrate and encourage excellence in teaching and scholarly pursuits in education itself. The initial members that were inducted into the Academy May 16 included two groups: (1) all former Stanton L. Young Master Teacher Award winners who are still active members of the faculty, and (2) a group selected from the faculty after careful consideration by a faculty task force.  Four members of the Department of Surgery faculty were included in the newly formed Academy:  M. Alex Jacocks, MD, Jason S. Lees, MD, Jacqueline O’Herrin, MD and Russell G. Postier, MD.  Congratulations and thanks for the excellent teaching.
