Scholar Nomination

2024 Deadline for Submission: August 1st

The Bucksbaum Institute invites you to nominate one or more faculty from your department to become a Bucksbaum Institute Master Clinician, Senior Faculty Scholar, or Junior Faculty Scholar. For the purposes of these nominations, Master Clinicians should have active clinical practices, be outstanding clinician-teachers, and be willing to serve as role models, mentors, and teachers of Bucksbaum Faculty and Student Scholars. Senior Faculty Scholars should be experienced physicians at the Associate or full Professor level who are recognized for their ability to role-model outstanding behavior towards their patients and colleagues, their exceptional depth of knowledge regarding the practice of medicine, and their willingness to share personal/professional experiences with Junior Faculty and students. Junior Faculty Scholars should be faculty members at the Assistant Professor level. Their nomination should be based on their dedication to patient care, research, clinical excellence, teaching, and their potential to become academic leaders.

If you have previously nominated a faculty member from your department, they will automatically be considered again in this year’s selection process. All Junior Faculty Scholar nominees who are not selected this year will be invited to become Associate Junior Faculty Scholars. Master Clinicians will receive support for a three-year term and Junior Faculty Scholars will receive support for a two-year term, during which time they will be expected to participate in Bucksbaum Institute programming and/or committee work, and to engage in research related to the Bucksbaum mission. Faculty Scholars at all levels will be eligible to apply for Bucksbaum Pilot Grant funding.

Please submit your nominations using the form below. Please include the nominee’s CV and a one or two-paragraph letter indicating how the work of the faculty member you nominate reflects the goals of the Bucksbaum Institute. The deadline for nominations is August 1, 2024. Self nominations are not accepted at this time. If you have questions regarding the application process please feel free to contact the Bucksbaum Institute Administrative Director, Joni Krapec (jkrapec@bsd.uchicago.edu). We appreciate your help in identifying outstanding candidates for the three Faculty Scholar Programs in the Bucksbaum Institute for Clinical Excellence.
