SEA/Henry Ford Health Award for Excellence and Innovation in Anesthesia Education
Established in 1996 through an initial contribution from Duke University’s Department of Anesthesia, this prestigious award recognizes individuals who have demonstrated a longstanding commitment to advancing the field of anesthesia education. In 2026, the Department of Anesthesiology, Pain Management & Perioperative Medicine at Henry Ford Health proudly assumed support of this honor.
The award recognizes educators who embody the core mission of the SEA: to Support, Enrich, and Advance anesthesia education and those who teach. Past recipients have distinguished themselves through curriculum development, technical innovation, scholarly writing, and educational research.
