The William D. Bradford Resident Teaching Award recognizes the Pathology resident or fellow who in the opinion of the Pathology residents has distinguished themselves in teaching effort and ability. 

The Bernard F. Fetter Teaching Award is to recognize outstanding teaching efforts by a Pathology faculty member.  Each resident and fellow is asked to nominate the faculty member who, through his or her commitment to education, has made the most substantial contribution to the resident's development as a pathologist and physician.  This award should recognize specifically those individuals who have made the strongest efforts to teach, and should not be limited to those faculty members with whom a resident or fellow has had extensive contact.
