Parker J. Palmer Teacher Award Recipients 2002

                
The ACGME is proud to introduce the ten recipients of the first Parker J. Palmer "Courage to Teach" Award. Parker J. Palmer is the author of the book "The Courage to Teach" and whose promotion of the concept of "living divided no more" has proven relevant to teaching in academic health centers. Please browse the photos and letter excerpts from residents, faculty, and other colleagues applauding the awardees' dedication to teaching, patient care, leadership/mentorship, and being an all-around "nice" person. Congratulations to our winners!
