Associate Professor Klaus von Pressentin, Head of
Division of Family Medicine, has been selected as the 2022 Society of Teachers of Family Medicine (STFM) International Scholar. This award comes with registration for the STFM annual conference and STFM membership for one year. The STFM International Scholar Award was created to engage International family medicine faculty colleagues in STFM, with the goal of ensuring the exchange of knowledge between family medicine educators based in the US and abroad, and in hopes of developing beneficial, bidirectional, long-term relationships between award recipients and STFM members. Founded in 1967, the STFM is a community of academic leaders committed to developing an accomplished family medicine workforce. The STFM’s mission is to advance family medicine to improving health through a community of teachers and scholars.
The award will be presented to Klaus at the STFM Annual Spring Conference in Indianapolis, Indiana (30 April – 04 May 2022).
