Department of Pathology Professor selected as Teacher of the Year
Another Teacher of the Year comes from the ranks of our Department. The NYU School of Medicine Class of 2010 selected Department of Pathology Professor David Zagzag, M.D., Ph.D., as Teacher of the Year. Dr. Zagzag was chosen for his outstanding teaching on the nervous system in the Mechanism of Disease module, an integrated module which introduces students to the principles of pharmacokinetics and pathological disease processes and emphasizes relating pathogenic mechanisms to the clinical manifestations of disease. This is not the first time that Dr. Zagzag has been recognized for excellence in pedagogy. He was the recipient of the NYU School of Medicine Teacher of the Year Award in 2005 as well.
