Top Department Educators Honored in Annual Teaching Awards

Posted on July 2014

Each spring, UW Radiology’s residents, fellows, and medical students vote on several annual teaching awards, given to those in the department who demonstrate excellence in medical education. While some of 2014’s winners are receiving these accolades for the first time, others are no stranger to this list. In particular, Dr. Donald R. Yandow II (pictured right) received the Medical Students’ Award for Outstanding Teaching by Faculty for the sixth year running, a feat made even more impressive when considering that he retired last year and is now emeritus faculty. We congratulate each award recipient on their dedication to radiologic instruction, and look forward to their future work with the department.

The recipients are as follows:

Donna Blankenbaker, M.D.
Residents’ Award for Outstanding Teaching by Faculty

Michael Hartman, M.D.
