Diana Wood awarded 2008 Pilkington Prize
College Fellow Dr Diana Wood of the School of Clinical Medicine is one of eleven of the University of Cambridge's academic staff to have been recognised for their excellence in teaching, at an award ceremony for the 2008 Pilkington Prizes on June 11.
Diana is the School of Clinical Medicine's first full-time Director of Medical Education. She has led a complete reform of the curriculum on the undergraduate clinical course and has overseen a complete restructuring of the Final MB examination, making it an exemplar of current best undergraduate medical educational practice.
She has demonstrated strong educational leadership and remarkable commitment and has made a major contribution to the undergraduate teaching of clinical medicine.
The Pilkington Teaching Prizes were set up by the late Sir Alastair Pilkington, former Chairman of the Cambridge Foundation and inventor of the 'float' method of glass making which revolutionised the industry in the 1960s. The prizes are supported by Cambridge University Press.
