The Golden Apple Award
Leaders, Role Models, Mentors and More A top-quality education depends upon exceptional teachers.
Golden Apple awards are given by New Jersey Medical School students to honor their outstanding teachers for providing excellent learning experiences in the classroom, the laboratory, the hospital and other patient care settings, in addition to serving as mentors. This year, 13 faculty members and six residents were singled out for this significant honor. Many of the faculty members on the list have been awarded Golden Apples year after year. We salute all of the winners and provide you with short profiles of four of them to illustrate the qualities that make a good teacher — as determined by the students.
