We would like to acknowledge the following schools for providing valuable information for designing our Academy selection process:

Baylor College of Medicine: http://www.bcm.edu/fac-ed/academy
University of California San Francisco: http://medschool.ucsf.edu/academy/
University of Texas Medical Branch: http://www.utmb.edu/AMT/

*This year, faculty interested in being considered for membership in the Glenda Garvey Teaching Academy, should focus their portfolio on teaching, evaluation, and/or mentoring activities only. This is an interim limitation due to the complexity of preparing standard-setting examples in multiple categories. The selection committee anticipates having these standard-setting examples ready in other categories in the future.
