Outstanding Teacher of the Year Award

Recognising, celebrating and inspiring great teaching in endocrinology.

Apply for some well-deserved recognition in endocrine-related teaching. This could be for a simple but innovative project, exceptional engagement or a lifetime of sharing your passion.

Your achievement may relate to (but is not limited to) curriculum development, undergraduate teaching, clinical teaching, training and advancement of postgraduates and fellows, mentorship, student welfare or technology.

We are particularly interested in achievements that:

  • positively affect students’ learning experiences 
  • could be easily adopted by members of our Society and/or other teaching professionals
  • could attract students into endocrinology
