APGO Humanism in Teaching Award
Now in its second year, this award honors ob-gyn educators from APGO member departments who are outstanding role models in the teaching of ob-gyn. 

Awardees are recognized as not only skilled clinicians but also as outstanding educators who intentionally foster compassionate, respectful, and collaborative relationships with learners, health care teams, patients, and their families with the ultimate goal of engendering shared and preference-based medical decisions, greater patient satisfaction with care, and improved outcomes.

One award is available for each APGO member department per calendar year.

Donna Wachter Clerkship Coordinator Award
This award, now in its fifth year, acknowledges excellence in the position of Ob-Gyn Clerkship Coordinator, and is designed to recognize an outstanding Ob-Gyn Clerkship Coordinator as identified by the Department Chair. In addition to one winner, four finalists will be named. 

New this year: Nominees previously recognized as finalists (formerly Honorable Mention awardees) are eligible to receive the overall award in a future year.

The Clerkship Coordinator is an essential member of the ob-gyn clerkship team. Exemplary coordinators possess excellent interpersonal skills and the ability to problem solve discretely and diplomatically. Coordinators embody an institution's mission, vision, and values.
