Dr Heather Brooks has received two accolades in this year’s Otago University Medical Students’ Association (OUMSA) Teaching Excellence Awards.
Each year medical students vote for their preferred teacher from that year’s classes, with the top three receiving recognition for outstanding contribution to the medicine course.
This year, Dr Brooks was awarded the best lecturer award by both second and third-year students. This is the sixth year in a row that she has received the award for the second-year programme and one of several years that she has received both awards, recognising her ongoing commitment to quality teaching.
