With him are Executive Dean John Zubialde, M.D., and Sheila Crow, Ph.D., Dean of Faculty Affairs and Professional Development.
Former Dean Makes Major Gift to Academy of Teaching Scholars The Academy of Teaching Scholars, OU College of Medicine’s group to foster teaching and educational scholarship, has a new name: The Jerry M. Vannatta, M.D. Academy of Teaching Scholars. Vannatta, David Ross Boyd Professor Emeritus of Medicine, Professor Emeritus of Humanities in Medicine, and former Executive Dean of the OU College of Medicine, made a $1 million gift to further the academy’s work of nurturing, recognizing and rewarding teaching excellence among faculty. He was recognized during the fall 2021 awards ceremony and new member induction. “Dr. Vannatta’s laser focus on excellence and innovation in medical education has been unwavering over the years,” said OU College of Medicine Executive Dean John P. Zubialde, M.D. “His leadership and support have helped the OU College of Medicine become a leading medical education institution nationally. This gift furthers our ability to transform education and shows the tremendous dedication of its author. We are truly proud to have our academy named in his honor.”
