Maxine Papadakis Awards for Faculty Professionalism and Respect
The Maxine Papadakis Awards for Faculty Professionalism and Respect advance UCSF values in medical education. These awards recognize faculty who are exemplars in treating students and all others in the clinical environment with professionalism, courtesy and respect.
Dr. Papadakis is Professor Emerita who retired in 2016 as Associate Dean for Students at UCSF School of Medicine. It was Dr. Papadakis’ work that led to the “respect” questions on the student evaluations of faculty.
We celebrate the faculty teachers in the core clinical rotations who are honored with these awards, as they significantly impact the clinical learning climate for our students.

Program – Acknowledgment
Teach for UCSF is a program of the Center for Faculty Educators that requires a significant time investment on behalf of the participants, a testament to their commitment to their professional development as educators. The program underwent a redesign in 2023-2024 and transitioned to a fully in-person format with day-long sessions during which participants experience a structured curriculum while networking with other educators. The program primarily targets UCSF faculty and volunteer clinical professors, with select certificates also open to staff and trainees. In addition to Teach for UCSF, the Center for Faculty Educators offers a number of other faculty development activities and resources to support all who teach and supervise UCSF learners.
