Fourteenth Annual Arthur C. Guyton Physiology
|
| The Teaching Section of the American
Physiological Society invites you to nominate a fellow physiology educator
for the Fourteenth Annual Arthur C. Guyton Physiology Educator of the Year
Award. Nominees must be full-time faculty members of accredited colleges or universities and members of the American Physiological Society. The Selection Committee will look for independent evidence of: 1) excellence in classroom teaching over a number of years at undergraduate, graduate, or professional levels; 2) commitment to the improvement of physiology teaching within the candidate’s own institution; and 3) contributions to physiology education at the local community, national or international levels. In the past, all nominees have shown excellence in teaching at their home institution and many have made significant local contributions through advising, graduate education, or curriculum design and reform. Consequently, the activities that distinguish a candidate in the rankings include outreach activities at the state, national, or international level; contributions to education through APS activities; peer-reviewed educational journal articles; and widely disseminated publications such as commercially produced textbooks, lab manuals, or software. Each nominee must be nominated by a member of APS. The Nominator should send a letter of support outlining the qualifications of the nominee to the Chair of the Award Selection Committee, no later than Friday November 11, 2005. The Candidate will be asked to submit a portfolio that includes a statement of teaching philosophy and achievements; summaries of student evaluations, teaching honors and awards; and evidence of education-related activities outside the classroom. Letters of support from colleagues and, if desired, students of the candidate will also be requested. The committee requests electronic submission of all material by January 11, 2006. The person selected will receive the award during the APS business meeting at the April 2006 annual meeting of the American Physiological Society (Experimental Biology 2006, April 1-5 in San Francisco, CA). The Arthur C. Guyton Physiology Educator of the Year will receive a framed, inscribed certificate, an honorarium of $1,000 and expenses of up to $600 to attend the meeting. The awardee is requested to write an essay on his/her philosophy of education for publication in The Physiologist. The Chair of the Guyton Award Selection Committee is Maureen Burton, Division of Basic Biomedical Sciences, University of South Dakota School of Medicine.
