Wolf and Kettle Teacher Award

The Wolf and Kettle Teacher Award is presented annually to Loyola University Chicago Stritch School of Medicine teaching faculty. Eligible faculty are rated as the top 10% of our clinical teachers, based on the number and overall rating of student evaluations of greater than 4.5 out of a 5-point scale.

Part of the Loyola University Chicago emblem, the Wolf and Kettle are symbols from the family shield of Saint Ignatius of Loyola.  The symbols represent the generosity of the Loyola family. The Wolf and Kettle Teacher Award, too, represents the generosity of our clinical teachers, who contribute to the development of future physicians.  

The Office of Medical Education performs an annual summative review of post-clerkship student evaluations.  Students are asked to review faculty’s overall performance based on several criteria, including setting clear clinical expectations, delivering timely and constructive feedback as well as directly observing students’ history and exam skills.

The following faculty have been identified as excellent clinical teachers and role models for the 2020 academic year. The Stritch School of Medicine could not provide this critical part of medical education without their help. The Office of Medical Education appreciates their dedication in supporting our up and coming young physicians.
