Jean-Pierre Farmer, MDCM, Associate Vice-Principal and Vice-Dean, Health Affairs of the Faculty, highlighted the essential role these teachers play in medical education, adding: 鈥淲e are very fortunate to have many among us who are exceptionally good at what they do, which is why we are here tonight, to recognize and celebrate your outstanding teaching and contributions.鈥�听
Echoing Dr. Farmer鈥檚 sentiments, Thomas Barab茅-Tremblay, MDCM Class of 2025 President, emphasized the qualities of excellent teaching, including adaptability and inclusivity in the learning environment. 鈥淏eing an excellent teacher goes beyond simply being an expert in the field,鈥� he concluded.听
