The Division of Pediatric Surgery’s Elizabeth Beierle, M.D., was recently awarded a Graduate Dean’s Award for Excellence in Mentorship. The Dean's Excellence in Mentorship Award recognizes full-time regular UAB faculty members who have demonstrated exceptional accomplishments as mentors of graduate students and/or postdoctoral fellows.

Beierle was one of 10 who were honored with the 2018 mentorship award April 2 at 4 p.m. at the UAB National Alumni Society House. Award winners were presented with a handcrafted, glass-blown green and gold candy dish, as well as a framed certificate and a copy of the letters their mentees and colleagues wrote to nominate them for the honor.

The Dean’s Mentorship Awards reception is one of the first of several activities that take place during Mentoring Week.
