The Distinguished Service Teaching Awards (DSTAs) are presented by Washington University medical students to faculty and house staff in appreciation of exemplary service in medical student education. Initiated by students and implemented with support from the Office of Medical Student Education, the DSTAs honor those educators who have made the most significant contributions to the training of future physicians at Washington University. Each year, students finishing their first, second, and third year of studies select the course masters, lecturers, clerkship directors, attendings, and residents who distinguished themselves most in the education of medical students. The DSTAs allow medical students to express their appreciation for their teachers’ efforts, dedication and patience.
