ANNOUNCEMENT

ARTHUR C. GUYTON PHYSIOLOGY EDUCATOR OF THE YEAR AWARD

Nominees must be full-time faculty members of accredited colleges or universities and members of the American Physiological Society (APS). The Selection Committee will look for independent evidence of: 1) excellence in classroom teaching over a number of years at undergraduate, graduate, or professional levels; 2) commitment to the improvement of physiology teaching within the candidate’s own institution; and 3) contributions to physiology education at the local community, national, or international level.

In the past, all nominees have shown excellence in teaching at their home institution, and many have made significant local contributions through advising, graduate education, or curriculum design and reform. Consequently, the activities that distinguish a candidate in the rankings include outreach activities at the state, national, or international level; contributions to education through APS activities; peer-reviewed educational journal articles; and widely disseminated publications such as commercially produced textbooks, lab manuals, or software.

Each nominee must be nominated by a member of APS. The nominator should send a preliminary letter outlining the qualifications of the nominee to the Chairman of the Award Selection Committee; the letter must be postmarked no later than Friday, November 14, 2003. In addition, the nominator will be asked to submit a portfolio on behalf of the nominee that includes letters of support from colleagues and students, summaries of student evaluations, teaching honors and awards, and evidence of education-related activities outside the classroom.

The person selected will receive the award during the APS business meeting at the April 2004 annual meeting of the American Physiological Society (Experimental Biology 2004, April 17–21 in Washington, DC). The Arthur C. Guyton Physiology Educator of the Year will receive a framed, inscribed certificate, an honorarium of $1,000, and expenses of up to $600 to attend the meeting. The awardee is requested to write an essay on his/her philosophy of education for publication in The Physiologist.

The Chairman of the Guyton Award Selection Committee is William Cliff, Dept. of Biology, Box 2032, Niagara University, Lewiston Rd., Lewiston, NY 14109–2032. Phone: (716) 286–8243; Fax: (716) 286–8254; (E-mail: bcliff{at}niagara.edu).
