University of Pittsburgh Chancellor Mark A. Nordenberg announced that School of Pharmacy faculty member Regis Vollmer, PhD, is one of five winners of the 2013 Chancellor’s Distinguished Teaching Award.
Dr. Vollmer, professor of pharmaceutical sciences, was recognized for the innovative teaching initiatives he has implemented throughout his academic career, including web-based videos of clinical procedures, simulation workshops in the University’s Peter M. Winter Institute for Simulation Education and Research, and modules on experimental methodology that have significantly increased the efficacy of clinical learning and education within didactic lectures.
In his letter to Dr. Volmer, Chancellor Nordenberg said:
Your commitment to teaching basic physiology and pharmacology alongside patient care applications enables your students to gain the skills they will need to be caring and effective pharmacists in a variety of clinical and research practice settings,
