2010 Award Recipients

Thirteen community-based family physicians and part-time teachers were selected to receive a 2010 Pfizer Teacher Development Award. Award recipients are selected based on their scholastic achievement, leadership qualities and dedication to Family Medicine.

"These awards spotlight the best of our profession: those in active practice who give of themselves to teach, mentor, and inspire residents and students. Tomorrow's family doctors, and their patients, will be better because of their efforts." said Richard G. Roberts, M.D., J.D., AAFP Foundation President.
