Janice Hanson, PhD, EdS, MH, Professor of Medicine & Director of Education Scholarship Development in the Division of General Medicine & Geriatrics, was awarded the COMSEP Achievement Award and honored as the 2025 CGEA Laureate.
Dr. Hanson received the COMSEP Achievement Award at the COMSEP annual meeting in Indianapolis the week of April 1. The Council on Medical Student Education in Pediatrics (COMSEP) Achievement Award is given to a current or former COMSEP member whose substantial contribution to the organization – in several realms – has resulted in the ongoing success, recognition, and growth of COMSEP. This individual has taken a lead role on at least one project of great significance to COMSEP. Further, this individual has served as a model of commitment to the organization as well as to the professional growth and development of other COMSEP members through such activities as program development, meeting planning, governance, and mentoring.
“Due to Jan’s extensive mentoring she has done with many of us, the rigor and elegance of educational scholarship has truly been elevated due to her guidance and involvement. It was so nice to see her get the award,” shared COMSEP President Gary Beck Dallaghan.
On April 11, Dr. Hanson was honored as the 2025 CGEA Laureate at the AAMC joint meeting of the Central Group on Education Affairs (CGEA), the Central Group on Student Affairs, and the Central Organization of Student Representatives. CGEA Laureates are honored for their contributions to Medical Education through development of other medical educators, contributions to the CGEA annual program, leadership, and on-going scholarly contributions that advance the discipline of medical education through the CGEA.
