The last two years have been a challenge for teachers, staff and students alike, with the shift to remote learning having been a significant adjustment.
To recognize the valuable contributions that faculty and staff made toward creating a vibrant, collegial, supportive and engaging remote learning environment during this unusual time, the Faculty of Health Teaching Fellows created a one-time Remote Teaching and Mentorship Award.
The award recognizes faculty and staff who successfully balanced a range of demands, including bridging the virtual divide; creating accessible, inclusive remote learning spaces; supporting student mental health and well-being; helping students stay on track with course progression; facilitating faculty events; managing accommodations for co-op and other placements; mentoring undergraduate and graduate students; and more. The award was peer-nominated and adjudicated by the Faculty’s executive team.
