Course upgrade nets teaching innovation award

Robert Breslow, associate professor (CHS) in the Pharmacy Practice Division, and Michelle Chui, assistant professor in the Social and Administrative Sciences Division, received the School of Pharmacy 2009 Teaching Innovation Award for their innovative revamping of the Medication Safety Course.

Presented by the school’s Curriculum Committee the teaching innovation award recognizes innovative experimental courses (free-standing electives or substantive additions/revisions to existing required/elective courses), must involve faculty from at least two divisions and demonstrates a collaborative and integrative educational approach across disciplines.

The award consists of a monetary stipend per coordinator for use in support of the experimental course or other professional activities of the coordinators.
