Dear Fellow Educators,

We invite you to submit nominations for the 2025 Academy of Medical Educators (AME) Excellence in Mentorship Award for UCSF Teaching Faculty. These peer-nominated awards are intended to highlight outstanding education mentors at all UCSF teaching sites who might otherwise go unrecognized.


Essential elements of the narrative portion of the nomination:

  • Mentoring is comprised of a variety of relationships that include role modeling, advocating, advising, and coaching. Educational mentorship is a longitudinal relationship in which a mentor supports a mentee in their creative activities and their professional development.
  • Recognizing mentoring as a valuable contribution to the University of California San Francisco, we want to honor individuals who have shown commitment and dedication to mentoring, advising, and supporting others.
  • The peer-nominated Excellence in Mentorship Awards are intended to highlight outstanding accomplishments in mentorship among UCSF faculty who support and empower their colleagues and trainees in advancing their careers and achieving their professional goals.


Thank you for your time and commitment to recognizing outstanding mentors at UCSF.
