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. King, your consistently excellent teaching during my pathology course made me excited to engage and attend your in-person sessions. I hear your hematology course is also excellent from the class that below me. Thank you for committing to providing original, quality medical education to medical students!
