About the Initiative

The Thank-a-Prof initiative launched in Spring 2025, based on a similar project at Columbia University. In recognition of the many excellent educators at UT Health Science Center, this initiative provides our students with an opportunity to show their appreciation for those who have impacted their learning.

Dr. Sweatman,

In the current world of medical education dominated by “anki” and “sketchy”, I can’t tell you how much I appreciated the depth of knowledge that you shared with us in each of your lectures. A lot of things in medical school are memorization, but you gave me an opportunity to build frameworks upon basic knowledge and taught me to think critically and logically in the realm of pharmacology. The type of thinking your lectures inspire is exactly what thinking like a doctor is about (in my opinion), And I’m glad that I got to take part.
