The Medical Faculty of the Goethe University Frankfurt awards this prize to promote excellence in teaching and Stefanie was nominated by the undergraduate students attending her biochemistry seminar series.

“I am very honoured that the faculty has selected me as one of this years’ awardees. This is a fantastic recognition by the very same students that our seminar series are designed to engage with and stimulate.”, says Stefanie.

Stefanie has shown a strong commitment to high quality teaching over the past number of years. She has a special interest in a Scholarship of Teaching and Learning, teaching innovation and curriculum design. She holds a certificate in higher education didactics and since 2015 is enrolled in the postgraduate degree programme Master of Medical Education (MME-D).
