Tom Gest, Ph.D., associate professor in the Departments of Cell and Developmental Biology and Anatomical Sciences, and director of the Anatomical Donations Program, has received the annual Golden Apple Award from U-M’s Students Honoring Outstanding University Teaching. Gest was chosen from more than 300 student-submitted nominations across the University. He is the 13th faculty member to receive a Golden Apple Award and the first winner from the Medical School.

The award recognizes exceptional teaching and mentoring on the University of Michigan campus and honors, in the words of the student group, “those teachers who consistently teach each lecture as if it were their last.” At the Golden Apple Awards Ceremony at Lydia Mendelssohn Theater on January 15, Gest delivered his “ideal last lecture,” entitled “Doctoring Education for Future Doctors.”
