Seven awards were presented across clinical and foundational science disciplines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Distinguished Foundational Science Educator Award was given to Kimberly Latacha, PhD, associate professor and vice chair for medical education in the UNMC Department of Genetics, Cell Biology and Anatomy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dr. Latacha has been a cornerstone of anatomy education at UNMC for more than 15 years, earning a reputation for rigorous, engaging and deeply student-centered teaching. She is co-director of Phase 1 medical education and serves as co-director of the Musculoskeletal and Integument Block, one of the most demanding foundational science courses in the curriculum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Students describe her as &#8220;one of the greatest teachers I&#8217;ve ever had,&#8221; praising her ability to make complex material both clinically relevant and intellectually exciting, a quality nominators say has defined her teaching across more than a decade of recognized excellence, including the 2024 Hirschmann Prize for Excellence in Teaching and the 2018 University-Wide Departmental Teaching Award, among numerous other honors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Distinguished Clinical Educator Award was given to Karen Carlson, MD, associate professor in the UNMC Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology and vice chair of student and community education.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dr. Carlson has transformed clinical medical education at UNMC through her innovative, simulation-based approach to teaching.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As the first fourth-year specialty tract director, she developed the Residency Preparatory Class, a curriculum-driven, simulation-intensive program widely praised by students and faculty alike. Nominators describe her as a trusted leader and role model who brings the same commitment to excellence to individual learners that she brings to large-scale curriculum design, mentoring dozens of students and residents who have gone on to match in competitive programs and earn honors of their own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dr. Carlson\u2019s contributions have been recognized with the UNMC Interprofessional Academy of Educators Spotlight on Scholarship Award, First Place Audience Choice. Her 3D-printed gynecological task trainer has been adopted at educational institutions in 54 countries, extending her impact well beyond UNMC\u2019s walls. Dr. Carlson said receiving the Distinguished Clinical Educator Award is deeply meaningful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cTeaching and mentoring future physicians has given me the opportunity to lead by example and influence so many learners throughout their careers,\u201d she said, \u201cand it\u2019s especially rewarding to have those efforts recognized by the college of medicine.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Additional 2026 award recipients<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The college also recognized excellence across several additional categories:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; \u2022&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Emerging
